Definition of
propaganda in the premise
In this technique, the patriotic message is not presented directly as a claim, but is assumed, as background information for some other claim or dispute. It is either implied without being stated at all, or is stated as if it were already understood by everybody to be true, or as if the speaker expects that everyone would (of course!) agree that it is true (even though it isn't). It is not stated as the main claim or focus of dispute.
Because the patriotic message is not stated as an assertion, but instead is treated as if it were simply routine information that everybody already knows, this sort of message delivery is more effective than a direct claim, where the fact that it is presented as a claim encourages the audience to evaluate it and think about whether or not they agree. That would be a bad thing, from the perspective of patriotism.
