This is accomplished by manipulation. Why do, mainly politicians use this tactic? It takes the focus of the people away from their (the politicians) actions and behavior. Then propaganda is used to sway the minds of certain groups against other groups. Good example of this is the notorious welfare queens. It is true that there is welfare fraud however the politician manipulating your mind has you believing that there are hundreds of thousands of cases and it is ruining the lives of hard working US citizens. We forget that there are laws against welfare fraud, and then we never ask, okay Mr. Politician since you are aware of this crime and who the perpetrators are, "why aren't you stopping it? . People are duped by politicians in order to get support for their agenda, which entails benefiting supporters of the politician they give the politician money and he pays them back with tax breaks or laws that benefit their business. Rarely does the duped base ever see any real benefits from the politician.
