The most powerful tool of the right is division, the "Us"-ing and "Them"-ing of any issue.
Us creates a group beyond reproach, their actions are correct justified and moral without question allowing any action to be justified without question.
Them creates a group that has no value, no morals, the most evil and immoral actions can be taken against a 'them' without judgement or concern. Them is worthless and disposable.
It is the oldest ugliest most dangerous politics and the most effective.
From Kirk, it will be on full display.
