[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3467442, member: 66082"] People are what they are means what exactly in the context of identity politics? No, there are many, many examples in all of politics and certainly republican politics. You have atheists, hell even identifying as a republican, Democrat, libertarian, socialist is a political identity. Farmers, Soccer moms, Military vets, doctors, lawyers, fathers, mothers, middle class families, job creators/business owners, etc. These are all political identities that are promoted by the republican party and by definition they can be interpreted as exclusionary and divisive. If an elected official is introducing legislation to help "farmers" and you aren't a farmer..... If an elected official is introducing legislation to help middle class families and you aren't a middle class family..... If an elected official is introducing legislation to help business owners and you aren't a business owner..... republicans are mostly bigots who have extremely negative beliefs about various groups of Americans, and they love Trump's bigotry towards those Americans. That's divisive, me pointing it out is not dividing anything. [/QUOTE]
