The Bogeyman.

It’s an ideology not an organization. These people want a bogeyman, and bogeymen are fictional.

Antifa, like any good bogeyman, takes many forms

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

maybe the one legitimate bogeyman institution in the housing debate

Here’s my brief take on how and why the Trump regime is trying to manufacture an international “antifa” bogeyman - as quoted in the @nytimes.com:

Christian nationalists voted for Trump to protect women and children from the bogeyman.

The funny part about this, is the bogeyman seems to like churches.

The list is so long but here are some.

They’re not immigrants, trans, or cross dressers.

WTF, WaPo. The Democrats don't make him a bogeyman. He's his own white nationalist christian extremist bigoted bogeyman. This isn't about image. It's about fascism.

Democrats quickly seek to make Speaker Johnson a bogeyman www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Democrats quickly seek to make Speaker Johnson a bogeyman
The party has begun painting House Republicans’ new leader as “MAGA Mike” but may face a challenge given his low profile and quiet tone.

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Oh please enough with the socialism bogeyman.

Republicans have used George Soros as a bogeyman although there is no sign of Soros having much influence on any Democratic administrations. But if Democrats continue to use Elon Musk as a bogeyman next month when Trump pretends to have sidelined him, that will be demagoguery of the highest order.

4/ "In this sense, Russian authorities resemble a five-year-old child covering his eyes with his hands, hoping the bogeyman will disappear, but the bogeyman never does.

I can’t for the life of me understand why Democrats haven’t made this ghoulish surveillance baron into a public enemy comparable to the role that Soros plays on the right. He’s legitimately a bogeyman.
Peter Thiel is back in the game, quietly donating more than $850,000 this year to finance Republican incumbents attempting to retain their party’s control of the House in next year’s midterm elections.
As Palantir cashes in on Trump 2.0, Peter Thiel is bankrolling Republicans again
The quirky Silicon Valley billionaire's priority: retaining GOP control of the House.

Projection has always been Trump’s favorite defense. Call opponents “crooked,” cry “corruption,” and hope no one notices his own crimes. Now he’s taken it further, becoming the bogeyman the right once warned their supporters against. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-auth...
Trump Is The Bogeyman The Right Always Warned Us About
Where is the outrage now that Trump has manifested the right's deepest darkest fears about an oppressive state?

It's Almost Like Turning Israel Into the Bogeyman Was A Bad Idea

I love how Greta is the bogeyman for MAGA 🤣
More power to you Greta!

Furthermore, the left should be thinking seriously by the dangers posed by the bogeyman
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

If you thought your “only a rich man could be powerful” bogeyman George Soros was scary wait’ll you meet the collective strength of the working class
January 25, 2026 at 11:33 AM
It’s okay to say it now. The bogeyman won’t come get you.
October 29, 2024 at 11:24 PM
"the establishment" is so tiring....stop having a bogeyman as an excuse for not converting voters
July 26, 2026 at 2:47 PM
Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Radical Christians are as dangerous, violent, and willing to strip you of your rights as any bogeyman religion you’ve invented.

They are also the ones acting on this country.
