    Oh absolutely, but knowing their ideologies as human beings gives you the power to wedge their camps apart. Sorry I’d forgotten the name of the federalist society. It also helps to know how they’ll fall on issues.

    Of the 6 right wing justices all are opposed to the enlightenment ideals that our nation was founded on, but how and why are important strategical information.

    We on the left tend to see those we oppose as a monolith rather than a coalition that could splinter into our level of infighting if pushed in the wrong way. In a similar vein we are also capable of forming a unified coalition that actually affects change in accordance with our wills

      I think they’re always on the verge of splintering, and we’ve seen that happen several times already between Epstein and the Heritage Foundation supporting Tucker Carlson.

      But I think people like Peter Thiel are also constantly controlling and manipulating people within both the democratic and Republican parties on order to keep themselves afloat.

      They can and do throw endless amounts of money at anyone they need to help them gain control in just about any situation, but they also strongly rely on that cult/“family” strategy to keep their base reigned in. We’re a united “family,” but the family has to accept that any member can be thrown under the bus by the paternal figures in control. For the good of the family, of course.
