HL Mencken’s first rule of pragmatic politics: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”The Secret Service no longer yell’s “Get down!!” if the POTUS is attacked. They now yell “Donald, duck!”
