#Populist parties choose #divisive issues on purpose.
This #tactic may steer the public political discussion away from problem solving and instead create a debate about the very liberal democratic basis of society.

I see that in analogy to #religions which tend to focus on crazy beliefs as this holds their faithful flock together and facilitates distinction vs other creeds. See my feature https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2019/06/cooperation-and-conflict.html

"Mount McKinley", & the Gulf of Mexico becomes the "Gulf of America" - Maybe someone should just give him a Sharpie & a bunch of old maps to keep him busy while the adults legislate.
Link is to one of his many Day One Executive Orders, this one creates a board to rename things...

Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s massive grift was embarrassingly revealed during his debate against Representative #Colin #Allred Tuesday night.
Cruz has been seriously struggling in his Senate race against Allred, and on Tuesday, it seemed that Allred dealt several critical blows to the Texas Republican.
In his closing remarks, Allred didn’t hold back.
“We’re all Americans, and we’re all Texans. We need a leader who will bring us together around our shared values. That’s what I’m trying to do during my six years in Congress.
💥That’s the exact opposite of what Senator Cruz has done,” Allred said.“Whatever he says tonight, you’ve seen it for 12 years. He’s been one of the most #divisive senators in the entire country. If you don’t like how things are going in Washington right now, well, you know what, 💥he is singularly responsible for it.
“He has introduced this new kind of ‘#angertaiment’ where you just get people upset and then you podcast about it, and you write a book about it, and you make some money on it,
but you’re not actually there when people need you.
Like when the lights went out, when 30 million Texans were relying on a senator to spring into action,
he went to Cancun.
That’s who he is,” Allred said.https://newrepublic.com/post/187198/ted-cruz-colin-allred-scam-debate
