In America, representing the new values and switching to the new values puts you in a rather elite club. Can you picture going into a group that currently consists of Washington, Lincoln and FDR? It is worth skipping out of one’s oligarch station and making a few enemies among the robber barons to get there. The allies one would pick up in the process would compensate.
