It seems to be one of their favorite tricks, taking a solid chunk of truth and smearing it in the minds of the audience by having it come out of the mouth of a designated villain. Not sure if there's a term for it, but I've seen it many times.

I asked Gemini. The answer is quite extensive and good. The summary:

"In summary, the Designated Villain/Debate and Switch is the narrative technique used by the author, and the Genetic Fallacy/Guilt by Association is the fallacy that the narrative encourages the viewer to commit to justify rejecting the villain's argument."

- A character represents the idea X.
- The same character is declared evil. He kicks the dog, rapes, murders, laughs manically. Maybe he is even degenerate or otherwise reprehensible, possibly even a hypocrite.
- Therefore idea X must be bad. Because if you believe X is good, you're just as gullible and dumb as the people the evil character manipulated to get to power.

It's the same they pulled with Hitler and the National Socialists of Germany essentially. They do this ALL the time.
