bogeyman

The movement has served, at times, as a bogeyman for police and the far right in general, with Snohomish’s own police chief resigning last year, days before the Back The Blue rally, after he fueled rumors of an ominous antifa mob approaching town.

A neo-Nazi alliance called Right Sector, which was active in pro-Maidan violence, is another bogeyman.

What went before, an interim framework agreement that caused a great deal of controversy, is no longer the bogeyman.

Insurance is a large and varied industry, and frequently plays the heavy and bogeyman, especially the health insurers.
