I recall not so long ago young Earth creationists were mocked for their group letter in opposition to evolution as an explanation for species. That the signatories were somewhat short on people with relevant credentials, dentists and engineers being among the most common.this led to operation Steve, a parody letter people named Steve were invited to sign.

So we come full circle. What was mocked when employed by the religious right is now the game plan of the authoritarian left? Sheer fucking hubris, as Admiral Wammen would say.
