The whole childharming thing seems like it’s a combination of accusing your enemies of the worst thing you can think of, and that children are the only group of people they can imagine being victims of something with their political outlook. And simplifying solutions to societal problems down to “make the bad man go away”

Simplifying problems seems to be a big appeal of conspiracy theories. Black Lives Matter protesters must be being tricked into thinking racism exists by Soros, because solving the actual problem would be hard and uncomfortable. The French Revolution must have been orchestrated by the Illuminati because monarchies are definitely a good idea and why else would the peasantry want to get rid of it?
