Good cop, bad cop.
Divide and conquer.
This is literally the exact point.
Also, Fox News for like 20 years or more has had a “liberal“ segment, where they do equal stereotyping, strawman, caricatures, and general bashing of “conservatives“
Divide and conquer. Get people to focus on inconsequential or less important issues or manufactured crisis (Which are real)…
… Instead of allowing folks of different political stripes to unite around, for example, an end to billionaires and oligarchy.
For a great example of this, take a look at what Fred Hampton was able to achieve. That’s exactly why he was assassinated.
