Quite possible in the US, the OP didn't mention specifically the US context, though.
Here in Europe, it's an established strategy. Not employed by merely a few, but by almost all conservative parties wanting to increase the willingness of the workforce to "compromise".
They're quite open about it, so I'm not talking about conspiracy theories here.
Thank you for reminding me that in your context, quite different interpretations seem natural.
