Scare tactics seems to imply that the source of the fear is false. I don't think that is the case here. That was my dispute.
Trump didn't make up the reparations thing as a sort of false fear mongering. It is being introduced in Congress. The Left is pushing it. It is reasonable for it to be a campaign issue. The reason you want to downplay it is because it is a bad idea regarding which we should all be scared (or, perhaps just very concerned). And, it is proper for the Right to talk about it because of that. That is not "scare tactics."
You can't say, "Reparations will never happen, so ignore what the Left says when they promise them." You tried that with the statues, and you were wrong. You may be wrong with reparations, as well. After all, the Obama Administration gave some to black farmers. Again, not scare tactics.
