    This has immense rhetorical power in terms of amping up support. It makes it easier to recruit, justify, pursue goals, etc.

    Put in in Hoi4 terms. If ‘political capital’ can be reasonably simplified into a score, a currency, this is ‘bank error in your favor, have a buttload of free points.’

    …with which you can more easily pursue a wide variety of actions or policies.

            Oh, I sure hope you are right, and since there’s contradictory hearsay I will only know when it happens anyway
