At the height of their power, the Italian Mafia in America used the carrot and stick in equal measure. No doubt they learned the hard way that using fear and only fear leads to undesirable results.
Right now, the right-wing media in America is constantly pushing the fear buttons of ⅓ of the population.
I'm worried we might get a "snap" on a huge scale.
I'm worried that many will be pushed past the breaking point at around the same time, and I don't know what could happen next.
