The term coined is 'sadopopulism'. Another person put it:

She yelled at Rockso βBad Rockso! Bad dog pooped my pants!β
What relevance this story has to current events is anybodyβs guess
One time when Lucy was around two, she pooped her pants in the car
I said βLucy, did you poop your pants!β
βNo Daddy,β said Lucy, βRockso did itβ
βRockso pooped your pants?β
βYes Rockso pooped my pantsβ
Rockso is a dog and was not even in the car

I grew up a Jew in the south and was regularly told I was going to hell by smiling people who genuinely thought they were doing me a favor. They were helping me. They were giving me a chance.
