They exploit that humans don't differentiate between the general concept of "being in something together', with its cost feel of belonging, and the particular claim of them or us "being in this together". People somehow absorb and enact cliches without first checking whether these general notions are not only a nice sounding topos where we know exactly how everyone would be supposed to act appropriately with a warm and fuzzy feeling of purpose, and in the other hand, girst checking whether that nice notion is actually pertinent and applicable in the present instance.
