    Identity polics, derived from Marxist class warfare, pits identity groups as masses against other identity groups, oppressors vs oppressed, seeking social rather than individual justice.

    Supporters of Trump are hardly a tribe.

    The left is diverse, so it doesn't have a tribal identity.
    In contrast, the right is almost all white and Christian. Hence, the rabid identify politics of the right, which you don't find on the left.

    That's dishonest.



    You just demonstrated my point. You embrace identity politics.

    We just observe. The Trump movement is entirely about identify politics, on a scale never seen before in the USA.



    I embrace telling the simple truth. And it triggered you badly.

    Now, what does Marx tell you to say about that? Go check (assuming that you don't have some relevant passage by Marx already memorized.)

    You just demonstrated my point, again. You embrace identity politics. You frame everything in terms of it.

    You have this idiotic belief that polls mean anything. Go find a farmer who doesn't support Trump.

    Clinton Cultists are so far in denial they can see $#@! when they step in it.

    The party in power averages a 24 seat loss. That's history. That would give the Dems control of the House but don't bet any money on it.

    Where is the authoritarian other than in your head. The illegals are still here, the wall isn't built and other things an a dictator would have done. Hell, he'd have has you shot before this.

    Someone like you shouldn't be calling someone a sociopath.

    I have yet to see you state a single fact. You find some poll and try to say that's fact and no one believes that.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    All politicians think they mean something. They were very accuragte for the 2016 election.

    (Yep, I am playing "bait the loonies" there. They won't be able to resist, and I'll get to have more fun with them.)

    Go find a farmer who doesn't support Trump.
    The piece referenced in the OP talked to some. And, as is usual with you, it contradicted with your kook cult worldview, so you had a meltdown.

    Clinton Cultists are so far in denial they can see $#@! when they step in it.
    Why are you babbling about Clinton now? Is The Clenis, the ghastly floating specter Bill Clinton's disembodied member, still following you around, haunting your dreams, and whispering unspeakable depravities to you? I can see why that would make you so cranky.

    Where is the authoritarian other than in your head. The illegals are still here, the wall isn't built and other things an a dictator would have done. Hell, he'd have has you shot before this.

    You're not making any sense, as usual. How does the fact that Trump fanatics are usually authoritarian-follower personalities mean that I should have been shot already?

    Someone like you shouldn't be calling someone a sociopath.
    Like I said, most Trump followers are authoritarian-followers, not sociopaths. Sheep. Good Germans.

    I have yet to see you state a single fact. You find some poll and try to say that's fact and no one believes that.
    I'm not sorry for triggering you like this. You needed to be dragged out of your SafeSpace, no matter how much it hurts you. It's your first step on the road back to rationality and morality.

    So, by your logic, if I point out that the person holding the bloody knife is a murder, it means I'm a murderer.

    Your logic is always very unlike our mere Earth logic. I suppose it makes sense in your home dimension, but here in this realm, it just mystifies us.
