    Dear Leader gives the people a boogeyman to blame for all of their fears. Dear Leader and his cronies spout lies upon lies about their boogeyman to keep the people scared and in line.

    In essence, Dear Leader creates a problem, then sells a solution.

      It’s a tad more insidious than that. Some people also secretly always wanted to be pieces of shit towards someone. Then dear leader gives them green light and a target to do all the awful things they wanted to do.
