Speculations of a Spectator at the Blame Game

"Scapegoating (from the verb "to scapegoat") is the practice of singling out any party for unmerited negative treatment or blame as a scapegoat..."

"A medical definition of scapegoating is:

"Process in which the mechanisms of projection or displacement are utilized in focusing feelings of aggression,hostility, frustration, etc., upon another individual or group; the amount of blame being unwarranted."

Scapegoating is a tactic often employed to characterize an entire group of individuals according to the unethical or immoral conduct of a small number of individuals belonging to that group. Scapegoating relates to guilt by association and stereotyping."

"The concept comes originally from Leviticus, in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert with the sins of the community. Other ancient societies had similar practices."

We in the U.S. are fully into scapegoating season,* (or the powerless version). While driving to work today i listened to brief mention on the "news" of our Governor's interest in the destruction of the Government Accountablity Office and his support for bills to essentially remove all remaining restrictions on campaign contributions in Kochistan (the state formally known as Wisconsin). 

That and a gestalt of my country's present world line, made me wonder upon the following query:

When the GOP &/or Dominionists &/or 1% &/or etc. get to that Jennifer Government reality they so pine for, and the life experience/style of the vast majority of people still sucks, who will their blame the problems on?

They could of course keep blaming the same and tie it to creating work camps etc. A common historical direction once you go down this route.

I kind of consider at this point that Atwoodian creation:

"CorpSeCorps is the brand name of the Corporation Security Corps, a private security firm that assumes the respondsibilities of the state in a libertarian society in Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Year of the Flood, ...

(actually, they are a prominient player in the fist novel of hers in this series, Oryx & Crake -this writer) 

...Notably it assumes those responsibilities which generate licit and illicit streams of income."

What path will be taken, do you think?
