"ChewToy" is something (usually someone) thrown out to the public to feel cathartic about attacking. Often the chewtoy is a person, who can personify a set of valid frustrations the people are experiencing. The chewtoy’s role is to soak up as much attention and anger as possible. If it’s a person generally they are safely out of reach from the people to build more and more anger over time.

My comment: Quite interesting and I guess putting a name to this technique makes us realise even more the strategy of putting mostly useless people in front of us as a barrier and passive block to progress.

I suggest we find ourselves instead. But it painful whichever way as it's not the "norm" supplied to us... so don't expect comfort in communication always between the public,,, years of frustration and scamming people... but I think we can do anything if we are constant...
