The second most effective tool is the identity politics affinity group. Affinity groups or ERGs have become a popular tool by HR departments to organize internal woke caucuses. Corporate affinity groups...

Like many other Normals when Obamamania hit in 2008, I was cautiously optimistic that he would use the presidency to be the President he promised to be. And like many others, I quickly realized he was just another cheap politician who was greasing the skids to take the title of worst president (Off the top of my head, the economics of Hoover & FDR, a foreign policy that made Dubya look like Bismark, and regarding divisiveness, the big difference between Barry O & James Buchanan...
