They work on division, making someone or group appear evil to another helps them play off one person/group against another.
They need that distinction - good/bad thus becomes support/cancel.
Evil people are easy to de-humanize. Once they've achieved that, good people will support or at least ambivalently allow all kinds of bad things to happen to the "evil."
If they can't find them, they will create them by blowing up trivial issues into end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it if we don't DO SOMETHING! About this RIGHT NOW! (remember bakers? Remember wedding photographers? Remember statues?)
If they can't create them fast enough or convincingly enough today, they can go back through history because there have always been and always will be bad people. Some of the worst people today are even looking for other bad people in the history books right now...
The left needs this steady stream - not because they really want to do anything about it. Not because there are any lingering wrongs to correct. They merely want to keep training the sheeple "Look to us, your betters, we'll tell you who is good and who is evil!" It is merely ongoing conditioning. That is truly evil.
“The left needs villains.
They work on division, making someone or group appear evil to another helps them play off one person/group against another.”
Funny thing is that Kennedy and Jackson were both Democrats.
