> to make things seem more threatening than they really are
I see that real stalking is a terrible thing, but undermining elections/democracy and negatively impacting things like happiness and mental health worldwide also seems pretty threatening to me, less personal but affecting many more people.
And stalking is not even a good analogy. They act more like possessive pimps, gauging their abusive clients who can choose and then take turns doing whatever to their naive and innocent "offerings".
