Biden and his supporters are using "Rules for Radicals". They emphasize the 'marginalized' people in an attempt to "go outside the experience of the enemy" (3) with the belief they can convince voters that Republicans don't support them; they ignore facts which demonstrate Republicans have involved minorities (LGBTQ, BIPOC, etc.) in meaningful positions. The Left is wrong but is trying to convey that message. They are trying to divide society in an attempt to "push a negative hard and deep enough" for a break through (11). They also try to use a "threat that is more terrifying than the thing itself" (9). Undoubtedly, they are using the other tactics Alinsky outlined.

I expect the Justices recognize these tactics, and others espoused by Alinsky, and will resist. The challenge will be whether they 'break through' and convince independents or fence-sitters to move to the left. (Musk's diagram - really Colin Wright's - demonstrated what has been happening.)

I believe their tactics won't work. The problems with growing gun violence, growing crime (not by right-leaning citizens), soft DAs, and the oppressive economic situation all spawned by Biden and Bernie's leftist ideas are the root of many of the problems affecting voters. These problems won't go away in time for a November rescue. Therefore, I continue to look forward to a sweep that resolves some of the stupidity in the legislature. My greatest concern is holding out for another 6 months.
