Works every time. Distract the people from the real issues by giving them fake enemies to occupy their attention.

Like witches.

Remember the fun we had getting rid of them?

We’d hunt them to down and throw them in deep water. If they floated, they were a witch. So we’d take them out and burn them at the stake.

If they sank and drowned, they died innocent.

Either way, it’s government at work.

It’s like bread and circuses, but clowns with no bread.
