<the only trouble with focusing people on outside enemies is that eventually you have to follow through? >

No you don't. The USA foamed at the mouth about the commies for decades without following through. McCarthy was on about it and the military and their suppliers enjoyed vast tsunamis off cash for decades without a shot being fired. They got to enjoy zooming around in aircraft carriers, submarines, fighter aircraft and stuff. The had the fun of blowing up dirty great noocular bombs, launching rockets into space, with spy satellites galore.

The fear and anger is the main thing. "They took our jobs!!"
