Let me guess without watching the video:
They’re the new boogeyman that the GOP elected officials need to create in order to get votes. Not unlike gay cakes, Mexican walls, and “they’re coming for your guns!”
Conservatives are predominantly Christians and Christians scare very easily. It’s at the foundation of the entire religion. So it only makes sense that they would be motivated by fear to be urged to vote.
God they’re so fucking stupid.
This is pretty much it for every culture war bullshit flavor of the year. Republicans can't win on policy because their REAL policies that they actually want are just "more money for ultra wealthy." That's it. That's the whole Republican agenda, more money for the ultra wealthy by cutting taxes and cutting OUR entitlements so the country can afford to not tax the wealthy. More money for the wealthy by cutting regulations that PROTECT US. More money for the wealthy by allowing mergers, monopolies, etc...
They need people to vote for them so they find a topic to have their propaganda outlets focus on and suddenly it seems "organic" when in reality the people are being manipulated to all be mad at the same thing at the same time. it's sad and hilarious that they also consider themselves "free thinkers."
