Do you honestly think this would happen, with the media in charge of the spin?
The same reason it would be hard to explain to the police (”look! this rabble rouser is using a fancy word for throwing politicians out of a window, and when it was done in other lands it actually was done with real windows in order to kill the politicians”) would be the reason why it wouldn’t make much of a dent in the public view. The more the media screamed, the stupider it would look.
