used the term "coalesce" to simplify for ease of discussion...if you want to get into all the facets, take a peek at the attached article...we could spend a little time on the 'Pros' and 'Cons' of listening to fringe groups like the "Neo Libs". BTW, back a few decades, when I was working on 'Fast Reactors', my wife and I attended a dinner party at the home of her parents' friends in a 'tony' section of the Bay Area...afterward, over dessert and wine, a conversation began over an Anti-Nuclear ballot proposition that was a hot topic then...and of course I shared some info and opinion regarding the nuclear technology...turns out, the hosts' son and some friends were more than a little in favor of the proposition and when my wife and I got in our car to go home, I found that one of the tires had been slashed...so, I'm not oblivious to the behaviors of extremists...left or right.
