"Identity politics." Interesting phrase. It seems to be one of those racist key phrases. It tries to make a positive out of racism. Traditionally, the best jobs are reserved for white males. It means your selection pool is very limited. The result doesn't look like America, but a much smaller part of America which tends to be elitist.
Racism is one of the issues of the crisis, any you seem to be on the wrong side. A look at the cabinet, and the Republicans are definitely on the wrong side. The key problems of the crisis tend to be solved rather brutally. This one, less so. The arrow of progress - democracy, equality, human rights - seems not to be pointing in your direction these days. Ignore the arrow and you find yourself heading for ruin.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
