Political discourse plays a critical role in shaping ideologies, influencing public perception, and reinforcing power structures across different political systems. This article examines the rhetorical strategies, framing techniques, and ideological constructs that political figures use to transmit ideologies and maintain control. Through a comparative discourse analysis of political speeches and government communications from various global contexts, this study investigates how political discourse shapes public perception and social control. The research also identifies the most commonly employed rhetorical strategies and discusses how political discourse functions as a tool for persuasion and identity formation in both democratic and politically centralized systems. The findings highlight the dynamic and influential nature of political discourse in shaping political realities, contributing to debates
on language and power in contemporary societies.
