It can act as a potential indicator of a person’s interests, opinions, and political leanings, for better or worse. Theorists can describe it as distracting but essential for developing special interest groups within parties and community organizing.

The King's Horse
I want to create a moment that will change everything. To date, I have been unsuccessful. I don't give up hope. I will never give up hope.

Trump’s DOJ Firings: A Move to Deter Future Investigations?
