I mean, according to the history of how conservative news has worked, you constantly need an ‘enemy’ to be afraid. It’s the reason we’re attacking their rights, not yours, it’s the reason that we’re enacting laws to target this specific ethnicityn not yours, etc.
Modern conservativism only works if your supporters are fearful of the ‘other’. It used to be “orientals” and the Red Scare back in the mid-1900’s. Then the blacks, the ‘marihuana’, and communism in the 60’s and 70’s. In the 80’s, it was the welfare queens, the moral panic, and AIDS. In the 90’s, it was child predators, gays, and the start of many identity politics. Then it was Middle Easterners and Islam in the 2000’s. Now it’s the Great White Replacement and the immigrant populations. See? The pattern is that you always have to have some target for fear. They don’t stick around long before people realize that what they were fearful of isn’t as bad as people said they were or that it was never a risk on the first place. It’s all just a massive distraction to keep people from targeting the real problem. The ruling class, and they’re ability to manipulate our laws, elections, and lives all for their benefit.
In the 1980s, conservatism leaned heavily on fear of the communist threat, the ‘welfare queen’, and a moral panic over crime, AIDS, and the erosion of traditional family values. By the 1990s, the new ‘others’ were undocumented immigrants, queer Americans, and the imagined tyranny of political correctness and globalist elites. The conservative movement has often relied on stoking existential dread—whether it’s the red menace, the crack epidemic, or creeping secularism—to unify its base through fear rather than hope.
White is not as inclusive as it sounds. Don’t worry they’ll find reasons to round up them folk too.
Too true
Bro they put a white Canadian woman in custody without access to the outside world.

Is whiteness a stack and they’ll pop Irish and Italian off the top?
