It’s not a question of warranted or not, it’s positioning. We can both agree X is bad, but if your entire messaging is X is bad then you aren’t really offering anything just stoking fears. If your messaging is “here’s why Y is better” that’s something positive that people can rally behind. Using panic and fear is lazy and exhausting, people are not supposed to be in a state of panic 24/7 but it gets headlines and donations so politicians fall back on it time and time again. It’s much harder to show what alternative you are offering, but that’s actually the good stuff. If your entire message is “the other guy sucks” then at some point people are going to realize you don’t actually have a message.
