Identity Politics
#2
RE: Identity Politics
Quote:“identity politics describes when people adopt political positions based on their ethnicity, race, sexuality or religion rather than on broader policies. Though it started on the left, it has been more potent on the right: it fueled Donald Trump’s election and Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.
The regressives are clueless if they believe this, as are the alt-right.

Donald Trump won the election because the electoral college, even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes, were the deciders.

The gender wage gap has been explained to death, and it's still brought up as relevant. Men. Work. Longer. Hours.

I also like how all these historical data are used to crop up an argument that identity politics is what got Trump elected. You don't live in a democracy. And using history as an argument, will and can be used against the Democrats as well as the Republicans.
