A good frame to explain the weird racist stories that the right wing is constantly trying to turn into campaign issues.
You know the ones; Haitians eating pets, Venezuelan gangs in the Denver suburbs, North Koreans taking over cities in California. All of that bullshit.
They are ghost stories.
Some 3Per sees a brown person in a place they are "not supposed to be" and they have to make up a story to explain why they are afraid.
And because those stories have emotional resonance with that crowd they get spread far and wide.
