FEAR!

The GOP's (and tRump's) stock in trade is FEAR. Their RW authoritarian followers must be kept in a paranoid fearful state so that authoritarianism can be tightened and so that they will do the Republicon / Conservative bidding.

They must fear immigrants.
They must fear crime.
They must be terrified of terror.
They must fear change.
They must fear the government (so it can get a better grip on them, perversely).
They must fear public schools (for teaching facts like evolution, and critical thinking).
They must fear gun regulations because Hillary is still plotting to take their guns away.

FEAR!
