Also, I have to say the responses in this thread make me think @Noahpinion was more right than I thought he was about the definition of grifter. I think I just have a very different understanding of what the term signifies than a lot of people, especially folks on the right.https://twitter.com/RTodKelly/status/1147615708802473984 …
If I understand your use of the term, there aren’t a lot of grifters on the left. But there are a lot of folks on the left running some sort of intellectual grift

What does that mean?

It means that Nancy MacLean, for example, can write a deeply flawed book about right-leaning economists that just makes a bunch of stuff up and it get short listed for the National Book Award, bc it conforms to a bunch of folks’ pre-existing biases
