This was in large part the impetus behind the Satanic Panic. People couldn't *handle* that 1. kids were being abused, and 2. that the abusers were people they knew. So they projected all that anxiety outward on an enemy people could agree upon, and turned it into "these Others are monsters."

Mr. Schiermeyer reached out to a lobbyist with connections in Mr. Trumpβs orbit, who arranged for him to attend a dinner with the president at his private Mar-a-Lago club on March 1 in exchange for donations to a pro-Trump PAC called MAGA Inc. totaling $1 million. The personal and corporate donations were among dozens of seven- and eight-figure contributions to MAGA Inc. from crypto and other interests revealed in a campaign finance filing on Thursday night that hinted at the access Mr. Trump accords those willing to pay. At the dinner, Mr. Schiermeyer, who had never given a federal political donation before, presented an idea for a cryptocurrency called βU.S.A. Tokenβ that would be distributed to every citizen, according to interviews and a flier he distributed to attendees that sets out details of the proposal. He hoped it could be su
Cryptocurrency interests, which have benefited from the Trump administrationβs dismantling of a yearslong government crackdown and from the Trump familyβs financial interest in the industry, appear to have been the most generous industry, accounting for nearly $45 million in donations to MAGA Inc.An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each. Ondo Finance, which has a partnership with the Trump familyβs crypto company, donated $2.1 million to MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Mr. Trumpβs inauguration.
The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the @nytimes.com is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.
