Yet it is you who are engaging in it right now.White straight, Christian males INVENTED identity politics, from the colonists to the 'Founding Fathers" on in.
No it's not. Look at the Republican Party - the Last Bastion of White People. Pretending that America's problems are because minorities and women have TOO much power. Republicans have been playing "identity politics" since Reagan called out "Welfare Queens", when he cut food stamps. And when he spend vast amounts of money investigating a handful of Legionaire's Disease deaths, and almost nothing investigating AID's deaths.
Middle America is being taxed into poverty to support an artificially low minimum wage for corporate America, with food stamps and MedicAid. Republicans tell them it's because the poor are stupid and lazy. Liberals call it a transfer of wealth to rich people.
Poor, uneducated, white people believe the Republicans. To their own detriment. But they're not stupid enough to fall for Trumps lies again.
