There will be all measures of scapegoating to deflect blame from those in power as there already are; Right wing extremists, opposing political parties, the war in Ukraine/Russia, the Arabs, Covid, greedy Capitalists, China, Big Oil...anyone except those who are steering the ship onto a sandbar.
Eventually, I hope the sheeple will take note that when something "good" happens it is all because of them. But, they NEVER take ownership, in whole or even part, of the negatives.
It is like we are all involved with "leaders" who have narcissistic personality disorder but, unlike that relationship in your personal life you are not allowed to dump them, because those who are under their sway keep voting for more abuse, lies and disrespect.
