Create a problem, usually cultural, and get FOX News to constantly repeat it. In short, they set up straw men to knock down and pretend they provided solutions.
Examples: Critical Race Theory which was a college elective, but they made their audience believe it was mandatory in public schools. So, they banned books. Problem solved.
Trans men in womens sports. Statistically less than a tenth of a percent, but they claimed it was rampant. They passed a law against it. Problem solved.
DEI. The cause of every ill and the bane of white males. So, they remove the program from government and pressure colleges and corporations to do the same.
And the big one: voter fraud. No one can provide any evidence of it happening, but to prevent it they institute policies to suppress our votes
Are there other examples?

Also statistics show it is AMERICAN smugglers bringing fentanyl across the border at a much higher rate than undocumented people.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
