Are there enough of ‘em to make any difference? Are they all goose-stepping maggots? Or is there a renegade or two already leaning toward the center? How shrewd are they at making deals with the enemy to short-sheet the opposition’s beds before they notice anything?

Hey in times like these, maybe it’s NOT the time to play nice? Asking for a friend.
