The Witch Switch
The Witch Switch — Why the GOP Needs ‘Witches’ to Burn. Authoritarians keep switching scapegoats: Trans → Woke → Palestine → Immigrants. The ‘witch’ is a permanently rotating Inner/Outer Realm figure.

A named concept (published in Byline Times). When one scapegoat loses its power to provoke fear, a new witch is switched in. The mechanism is Inner/Outer Realm switching applied to domestic politics — the witch as the permanently rotating Other. Connects to the folkloric archetype (Snow White, Daena at Chinvat Bridge) and to Farage as ‘witch switch addict.’
