I mean, yes, those things, but also the sheer disregard for the facts. "Those numbers make us look bad, so they're false. I can't provide you with any details, they're just wrong somehow. Don't worry about it."
Boogeyman. It's always a boogeyman.
Recently, we've had transgendered people, antifa, DEI, migrants, and sleepy joe. As the acute impact wears off they switch to something else based on A-B testing of which generates the most fear.
It'll be something, but what?
Honestly my bet is on black people. They're going to go full-on racist. We'll probably see shit about phrenology, genetics, and degeneracy with the historically successful (to their target audience) descriptors of vermin and leeches.
All of this bullshit to lower taxes for billionaires and enable their successionist libertarian microstate fantasies.
It would have worked in 2020, too. It took a full-on global pandemic to stop it, and that only briefly.
The formula works, and it keeps on working.
It’s hard to believe a superpower could self-sabotage so throughly.
