Exactly. I think there's an entire political party that capitalizes on suffering, offering to jump in and rescue the poor victims. Like racketeering: create the problem and sell you the solution "if you just vote for us, we'll fix the devastating problems caused by $BADGUYS". but an absence of problems means you lose your voter base.
At least in Germany it's clear that it would be the AfD. In the US, you could say republicans, but I'm getting the impression that democrats are prone to this too.
