      It's a remake of the old classic about a vast judeo-bolchevik conspiracy being responsible for everything that goes wrong.

        Exactly so.

        The nationalist reactionary/fascist mind is primmed to think in terms of conspiracies by external threats. They think America/Germany/whatever is great and perfect. Any problem, therefore, originates in something external.

        "The Jews/commies/Chinese/Russians/illegal immigrants/reptilians/Illuminati/globalists did this to us!"

      I think this is their reasoning:

      Like many other products, people in China make fentanyl. Some of it ends up on the black market. They think this was maliciously plotted and therefore all fentanyl related deaths are China's fault. Since George Floyd had some fentanyl in his blood when he died that's China's fault too (since they think he died of fentanyl and not because of the cops).

      Many libs think China (also Russia, Iran and all the other official enemies) used an army of bots to manipulate every social media site to create racism and division on the internet.

      Basically, it's scape goating the core problems in America to an external force like SoyViking said.

      It's literally just "China bad". There's absolutely no rational thought occurring in either of these people's extremely smooth brains.
