The very deep and wide political schism permeating in this nation today owes its paternity to identity politics. Identity politics began by the progressives but now is pulling conservatives into this abyss. identity politics is tribal in nature and hence does not unify but divides.

With identity politics there are no shared values and hence blame is easily assigned. Debate by the left had first become uncomfortable and now is non-existent because the left has framed all social and cultural issues as not up for discussion....either you concur with their ideology or your opinion is based solely in bigotry. LGBT cause has moved from a discrimination issue to a demand for ideological acceptance and endorsement of their lifestyle if not then you are a homophobic bigot

The rationale for denying the opportunity for national discussion is clear the left seeks power and control they do not seek national solutions.

How does one engage in a frank and honest discussion when the right says "all lives matter" but is greeted by the left with you are a racist pig. the left wears identity politic as a badge of honor.

the incongruity of identity politics is not that the left has taken this too far but that they have ignored truth in favor of power.

Nancy Pelosi's , Maxine Waters, Alex Baldwin, Michael Moore et al rants are prime examples.

To help resist this fascist movement by the left make it a practice to adopt one conservative idea a day. A conservative idea a day keeps the fascist away.
