These populist shills ramp up toxic/divisive rhetoric, demonizing vulnerable populations with no solutions/ability to pay for those programs if they magically materialize (usually corporate).
The ploy is to outsource to private groups (e.g. Cicero Institute in the USA - billionaire Joe Lonsdale). On the back end Cicero writes anti-homelessness model legislation.
B.C.: Chip Wilson, Pacific Prosperity Network, "Vancouver Is Dying" copaganda.
