Totally fair. Production in Hollywood. Production in politics. It's one that works up the chain of governance then they risk the pidgin hole of the party and yet that's the most obvious way to be proven. Too much of an outlier= extreme label. Too much cooperation=flipflopper. No experience=crony 😮‍💨
