By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

He identifies archetypes such as the generic "Top-Tier Democrats" and "Top-Tier Republicans," along with "Conflict Theorists" who believe their business acumen is key, and "Mistake Theorists" with novel, unproven solutions. Alexander also highlights "Media Getters" who appear to manipulate polls or pay for favorable press. AI
