Far be it from me to say anything positive about Fox news, but at the very least they didn’t try fearmongering with him via trying to place a scary image (an imagine like this? I genuinely don’t think they tried to find a scary image of him)
Either that or it never occurred to them to use a scary looking image
I think they want him in power, so they can lamblast him for everything he tries to do, and then can then point the finger at his ineffectiveness during his term, so they can compare him to their next prized drooling candidate who they will praise unendlessly
It’s because Fox news viewers live in a media bubble so full of dogwhistles that none of these things actually mean the things they mean:
“Affordable Housing” is code for “ will ruin the neighbourhood.”
“City owned grocery stores and fare free buses” I’m not 100% sure on their fearmongering, but I think it might be “big gubmint is coming to take your 4x4 Childslaughtermobile away and force you to eat your veggies.”
3.“LGBTQA+ Protections” This is a pretty obvious one, but it’s the standard “They’ll make it illegal to be straight!”
4.“Raising minimum wage” is fearmongered by the right as “destroying the economy” because the best way to build a house is to never worry about the foundation and just make sure the roof is as big and heavy as possible. Their primary viewership is small business tyrants and wannabe small business tyrants, so the idea of actually paying their employees is seen as an abomination.
5.“Trump-proofing NYC” is pretty self-explanatory. They’re just claiming that opposing ICE is opposing Our Glorious Lord Trump.
This was the most scary image they could find of him? The man must be a saint.

he’s brown that’s scary enough for their audience. if they make it too scary they’d cause heart attacks and lose viewers
