But it's a great save your ass tactic that's used all the time.
If it's a big news story people are focused on it. And humans mistakenly attribute events to what the are focused on.
Trump was a great scapegoat for local, city, regional, state politicians.
All kinds of things can be blamed on climate change, systematic racism, etc. Basically anything that a leader can't fix but is in the news is a great scapegoat.
Not to say that these aren't real issue. They are, but once you hear how they are over attributed as causal you can't unsee it.
