A crucial point. I’ll add: The paranoid accusations gain plausibility on the Right not because of empirical evidence, but because they adhere to the “Higher Truth” that governs rightwing politics: “Real” America is under siege from a fundamentally illegitimate coalition of leftist and alien enemies.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
