Too true!

The tendency of bad politics is also to make specific practical solutions into hobgoblins as well, so the public will also end up fearing/hating what could otherwise help them. Case in point: everything :/

You could get shot for reason, while you walk down the street.

Okay? Thanks for telling me that. What's the solution?

Sharks are in the waters off the coast.

Cool. Cool. So I'll stay away from sand then.

A civil war is going to break out within the next decade arm up and save food!

Well, um. This conversation is starting to get random, but again, thank you for the info. So, I was wondering, where are you getting all of this information?

China is going to attack us any second!

Well, that is a possibility, but very unlikely without cause-

People are crossing the border illegally causing crime and messing with census!

Damn. That sounds like a big deal. Why aren't we doing anything about that?

All of the bees are dying! We're all gonna starve!

Again, that sucks, but is there-

Bernie will bankrupt the country!

Okay, what about-

Trump will start WW3!

Do you have an answer to any of these problems?

No. Of course not. I'm just the news guy on TV meant to keep you scared shitless with problems that have no answer.
