Intersectional imperialism is going to be a hallmark of the Biden administration. And people whose politics never evolved past "diversity" will eat it up.
1. NYT confirms Biden is considering Darrell Blocker for CIA Director
Blocker served for 28 years at CIA mostly in the clandestine service. He was Chief of Africa division and served multiple times as Chief of Station
He would be the first Black person to serve as CIA Director

No need to convert. I'm not anti-intervention. Sometimes, as in the case of genocide, intervention is necessary. American interventions, however, are often nefariously motivated.

These are the people who read "Center for American Progress" and don't bother investigating further because the name sounds good.

We knew it was coming though. Once the nomination was Biden everyone knew who we had just married.
