Convincing people to vote for them is the job of the party, not their supporters. The supporters can only repeat the messaging the party sends out, if that messaging is unpopular then no amount of time and money from the supporters is going to win the election.

This is a country that had a one child policy for the ethnic in group. But to do this in secret betrays intention.

They obviously mean something until they are stuck down, and even then...

The lies are audacious though. Most people know this is a lie but there's no consequences so it is then taken as a display of power. The word I use for this is mendacity.

There's the legal tactic of: do now and ask for forgiveness never. It works really well when there are no legal consequences.

Was watching Lindsey Ellis's latest video essay where she was comparing conservative children media to those that teach social emotional intelligence. It struck me that much of media is socializing kids to have a officer in their head to be disappointed if they act in a way authority disapproves of. My kid loves power rangers but I get the same vibe, lots of shame based morality without validating what people are feeling.

It's a start. Go further and have the police document every encounter, get badge numbers and names and make the info public. And don't show up when the public starts taking some accountability into their own hands.
