The Witch Switch — Named Concept (Byline Times)

The Witch Switch — Why the GOP Needs “Witches” to Burn. Honoured to be quoted in Byline Times: “Stephen Douglas, author of Disinfolklore…” Authoritarians keep switching scapegoats targeted for their vitriolic campaigning. Trans → Woke → Palestine → Immigrants → whoever’s next. The “witch” is a permanently rotating Inner/Outer Realm figure. When one scapegoat loses its power to provoke fear, a new witch is switched in.
