These types of people blame the failures of their own policies on the scapegoats because they're convinced their ideology is actually natural law.
They control the courts, presidency, congress, most state houses and governors offices, have most popular news shows and networks, and they're unwilling to admit their policies are incompetently administered so therefore socialists and trans people must actually be running things, somehow, somewhere, in some invisible way.
They refuse to take responsibility and imagine conspiracies where some scapegoat is puppet mastering their failure.
You might have who I'm talking about confused. Musk, Vance, and their cabal don't actually believe in it. It's fascism and fascism needs an enemy to point at. That isn't to say they don't have people in their ranks that don't believe in it.
They do though. They mention obscure authors and theories about white replacement and neo-eugenics. There's constant controversies of people finding the online handles of these power players on sites like gab and bitchute where they express pretty unambiguous sentiments.
Musk has a trans child he's cutoff all contact with. There's very little evidence these people are faking it. There's never been a group chat that gets leaked to expose them as secretly fine respectable people.
We have this tendency to think socialist and leftist are all very serious about it while the people on the far right don't actually believe it, they're just pretending.

Don't dismiss it. They deeply believe this.
