I refer to it as power, iow, cries today about racism, sexism, etc are not about seeking justice but power. Murray calls it politics.

I see Murray as just projecting. The best example? Trump and the Trump cult leaders. They don't care about abortion and Christianity and immigration and gay-hating. Those are excuses they use to grab power. The right uses identity politics -- being white and Christian and straight -- far more than the left.
If a conservative makes an accusation, it's actually a confession.

I agree and I don't have to watch the video to validate that. But if you don't think that both "conservative" and far right-wing factions aren't jockying for power by doing exactly the same things but spending a whole lot more money doin it, then you're being both disingenuous and hypocritical.
It's ALL about power, all of it. It always has been.
How does abortion help the right? If anything it costs the right votes. I call the opposite on the left who pretend partial birth abortions are okay with them. I don't believe it for a minute and I doubt their European friends that have 12 to 20 week limits support such an extreme position either.
Gay rights - What rights do gays not have in this country. That is an empty argument.
Christianity - Our government was found on its principles. I'm not that religious but I cannot understand the favortisim that the left shows for other religions and the disdain they have for the majority that call themselves Christian.
