This pure Saul Alinsky radicalism from the bible he wrote for his dedicated Democrat followers, "Rules for Radicals".
A few rules from the book, but so many more apply;
5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. Alinsky explained, “It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
8. Keep the pressure on.
10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Alinsky lists 11 rules of “means and ends”. Here's a few;
2. The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.
10. You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.
11. Goals must be phrased in general terms like “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” “Of the Common Welfare,” “Pursuit of Happiness” or “Bread and Peace.”
Sound familiar? Sound evil? Here is the epigraph from that book that the left loves so much.
Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer. — SAUL ALINSKY

Democrats in a nutshell.
What is the root cause of deceit?
According to one expert, lies are like wishes—often, what is said are things people wish were true. A large body of research identifies three major reasons why people lie: to get something they want, so-called instrumental reasons; to protect or promote themselves; and to harm others.

Kudos to you. You know your radical handbooks. Nice post.
