This appeals to the base instincts of a large segment of the population, even though it’s mendacious and illegal. Why???

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Delusion to an extreme level
Q: A lot of Rs, including the Lt Gov, ran on keeping the good times going. Given the Lt Gov lost by 15, Rs are on track to lose more than a dozen House seats, is it possible Virginians don't see your admin the same way you do?
YOUNGKIN: I believe Virginians thoroughly support what we've been doing

Perhaps this is taken for granted. The more everyone can appreciate how amazing this is, maybe the less likely folks will believe there are incentives to tear it down.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
