Be more specific. Don’t just use the word “politicians.” You’re providing cover for them by presenting both sides as the same. At least in today’s political landscape, it’s only the right that gets caught in these endless fever dreams of imagined threats. It’s just one mad thing after another with Republicans, as they actively court the deranged and crazy. Anti-vax, chemtrails, etc. used to be fairly nonpartisan, but the Republican party has completely absorbed the conspiracy theorist crowd from both sides of the political spectrum. Just consider all the fever dreams Republicans have chased even just recently:
Chem trails
Vaccine denial
Blood libel and genocidal fear mongering against trans people
Immigrants eating domestic pets
Entire cities delusionally labeled as active war zones.
Don’t help Republicans. This isn’t a “politician” issue. This is a Republican issue. There is simply nothing comparable on the left to the right’s need to endlessly whip up their 5 minutes of hate against the other. Only one side embraces this kind of madness. And by using neutral terms like “politicians,” you are ultimately enabling this behavior.
