It seems to me that if I go onto certain kinds of websites, often there is a "list of names".
Sort of like Madame Defarge knitting her list for the guillotine.
Maybe it's some kind of "Après la révolution !"

If it's there is no actual list, there seems to be paragraph after
paragraph of sentences linking one name to another to another...,
as if just the association to one another alone is enough for damnation.
One list I came upon by Googling recently had Supreme Court Justice Kagan
as one of the undesirables in the Omaba government.

Maybe I'm just not going to enough of the more "liberal" websites
to see the same phenomenon among them.

But I just don't get it.
That's the basis of a lot of conspiracy theories. I'd guess you could find those types of associations in discussions of the Koch Brothers.
