The interesting thing about engaging in distinctive and repetitive misconduct (which could be trade marked), is that someone can make repeated references in a speech and everyone knows who is being referred to even though no name is ever mentioned:
"……..And it's why the exhibits here focus not just on policies, but on the shared values that make democracy possible. A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law or beneath its protection. A belief in checks and balances in our government, and an accountability that comes with it, an independent judiciary and a robust free press. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time. And a belief that qualities of character - honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor - those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives…….
We start thinking that appeals to democracy and civic participation are corny and old fashioned and boring and naive. That the very idea of working on behalf of the common good is a sucker's bet and that in order for us to win, somebody else has got to lose."
