Humans have not progressed past the time of tribes where the tribal chieftains riled up their tribal members to be angry at something, so that the tribal leader(s) could gain or keep power. If their territory or power was threatened, they would get the tribe together and make up stories and lies about the opposing tribe such as saying that the other tribe stole their herd, or killed a popular tribal member, or stole their hides and stored meat. Anything to get the tribe in fear and anger so they would fight.
Today we have evolved to TV anchors and very angry tribal politicians like Hakeem, Pelosi, Schiff, Swalwell who pound podiums and have anchors repeat lies in unison so their tribe (Democrats) will get very angry and fight for them. This is why the Dems were silent about the riots in favor of Palestine and illegal aliens and ignored their tribe burning Teslas.
