Political technology takes advantage of the natural human tendency to complain about things that we don't like, but it deflects the complaints away from the underlying cause of the problem onto those trying to address it.
For example, people honestly concerned about Putin and Ukrainians that have been attacking Jake Sherman are victims of political technology manipulation.
How do I know? An attack on Sherman is an attack on Joe Biden. Biden is Putin's major adversary so the attacks help Putin
