Scapegoating weirdoes, intellectuals, and aliens is how the truly dangerous avert attention from the real money.
Thing is, national paranoia is a multi-billion dollar industry. Those with vested interests will do anything to keep it front-of-mind as it's profitability is two-fold. Firstly, it keeps the populations minds off what's
