It creates an "us vs. Them" narrative. Like christians and muslims or arians and jews. Oldest trick in the book to get your people to comply with anything.

It does create that us vs. them mentality which is a falsehood and the diametrical opposite of what christians, jews, or any one is supposed to be all about. We're not above, beyond, or "better than." We're all in the same boat and we're all totally alike (yes, totally). It's time to stop being paranoid and hateful to others.

Oh you're in a boat are ya? Probably one of those librul foreign commies comin over here on your banana boats tryina climb our great trump wall (one of the wonders of the world, everyone's jealous) to spread your ungodly socialist abortion heresy and "education" to our sweet young wives. You won't get away with this! God will protect us from your heretic allah or my name isn't cleetus junior the fifth!

Uhh well I was comin in a boat - maybe I'll turn around and go back after all. I just can't compete with Cleetus the Fifth and his cadre of sweet young wives.
