“Keep them stupid, keep them scared” this was the secret motto of the republican party since before Reagan, and was an outgrowth of both The Southern Strategy and the growing awareness that the GOP only serves the richest fraction of the populace. That is, if the majority are not your true constituents, you can only win elections, (ok, fair elections, election manipulation is another tactic), if you delude them. So now the generations of the deluded (being good republican voters) are starting to infiltrate those who were keeping the secret plans, due to the accelerants of internet social media. A slow hoist upon their own petard which has injured the entire republic.
