Actually, sometimes it feels like it all runs together since 2016. Didn't I even seen recent posts on here about Russian election interference for Farage?

RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

From Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals...

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
