Yeah but you don't need to target them all. Most people are pretty much useless, politically speaking, they just do what they're told by someone else. If you can identify who is doing the telling and target them specifically, large groups of people will otherwise be docile.
Historic attempts to apply that theory have been broad-brush to say the least [0]. With LLMs and access to enough data the authoritarians can get really fine-grained about when they take people out the next time they seize enough power. Anyone attempting to do something politically uncomfortable for the incumbents will be at serious risk in a fine-grained way that has not previously been possible.

I don't think it is 50-50, more like 20-30% for Trump and I don't have a read on the Israel/Palestine stats. Trump has a dedicated core of supporters but I'd suggest a lot of the people polling for him just don't see a better option.
