This sort of clear institutional grain pattern is why I roll my eyes at people who seriously think left vs right is obsolete or analytically useless. It doesn’t matter if most people are past L/R (not true btw) so long as a few clueless are there to run grainy playbooks

4 kinds of US fed institutions
- Progressive grain: EPA, HHS, DoED, DoS
- Conservative grain: DoD, DHS, ICE etc
- Neutral grain: Courts
- Ambiguous: Intelligence, NASA, NSF, NIH, DoE
Playbook: Undermine, Strengthen, Swing, Test. So far has run smoothly, zero real resistance
