Your strategy is to be divided and conquer, and this strategy is no longer working and will not work again for the rest of your life. The 60s coalition of people of color, women and gays is finished.
A storm is coming, Eric, and this storm will wash away all the trivialities and petty bickering and everything else that separates us. While we don't know what form it will take, imagine that we're in a major war against China, with its 1.3 billion population and its hundreds of nuclear warheads. China's army dwarfs ours, people are dying by the hundreds of thousands, and while both sides are withholding the use of nuclear weapons, the threat that they'll all be fired off at once is ever present. No one's going to care about what bathroom men who want to be women want to use, or whether the police are being too rough on certain criminals.
The time is coming where we will all be asked to sacrifice, some much more than others. Those who attack our country and its values from within will be considered traitors. There will be no "smashing the patriarchy", no "free the nipple", no slut walks. Conformity will be valued over individuality, as everyone tries to show that they, too, are fighting to protect the nation.
The unraveling is over. It's time to grow up and stop whining. Nobody cares how special a snowflake you are. "We're gonna need you to charge up that hill through machine gun fire, and try not to get yourself killed, or all that money we spent in training your dumb ass will be wasted".
The time is coming for people of color, women and gays, to demonstrate how much they have to give to the country, not whether they've been able to take enough, just as will be expected of everyone else.
If you, Eric, and the Democratic party and liberals in general fail to realize all this, then you'll be cast aside, your values abandoned, as everyone else deals with the conflict our country will be facing.
