30. Here goes:
1- It's simple. 2 words. That's all he can remember.

2- That's the only way in which he can be convincing because everybody knows that he is limited. On occasion, rare words (e.g. "awe", "might") can be used. It also suggests that the individual may have some depth but that is is shy, reserved or perhaps even wise in a Forest Gump kind of way.

3- It's universal. Nobody likes hate, everybody likes freedom. It doesn't matter what the context is: people will immediately agree. It's a well known trick.

4- It suggests that he embodies victimhood. Like a child beat up in the school yard.

5- It's a way of saying "Evil" or "Devil" without using the words. There's no way to reason with the Evil, thus any means is justified to oppose it. Which is what he's trying to sell.

The irony is that he represents those who actually see in freedom an impediment and to their best to restrict it for their own profit.
