Politicians and news announcers are fond of using the phrase "existential threat" when speaking of potential violence.
Does this mean other threats don't exist, that they are imaginary, and only brought up as something to talk about?
Perhaps this is a way of emphasizing that an imminent threat is real. But this, too, raises the question that other threats are not real, that they don't really have any existence.
Be that so, perhaps we should ignore this supposed threat, because it's not real.

Not really real.
Maybe it's fake news real.
