Zone1 Republicans Are The Main Purveyors Of Identity Politics

[IM2]

Republicans have used identity politics for Years. We can point to the Southern Strategy if we want to stay modern as the start of the modern Republican party use of identity to frame their political agenda. That's why it's laughable to read posts talking about how Democrat identity politics is why we have trump. White grievance and white victimhood is why we have Trump.

Aggrieved Whiteness: White Identity Politics and Modern American Racial Formation​

Recent social psychological research, opinion polls, and political movements, such as the Tea Party and the candidacy and election of Donald Trump, have highlighted an increasingly widespread sentiment among white Americans that they are a structurally oppressed racial group. In spite of persistent socio-cultural and political economic structures of white supremacy, real racial inequalities that serve to privilege rather than oppress white people as a group, a politics of aggrieved whiteness has become increasingly prevalent.

“Aggrieved whiteness is a white identity politics aimed at maintaining white socio-political hegemony through challenging efforts to combat actual material racial inequality, while supporting heavily racialized investments in policing, prisons, and the military, and positing a narrative of antiwhite racial oppression loosely rooted in an assortment of racialized threats.”

This is why we have Trump. Not political correctness or Democrat identity politics. Because of various job losses, a portion of the white community has falsely believed they were left out and were losing. And the thing about this, is that they voted for the people who took their jobs and moved them into other countries.

Since 1980, American businesses have needlessly sent jobs out of this country. Everybody’s hero, Reagan, implemented a government business philosophy of laissez-faire economics that has cost the workers of this nation millions of jobs. “Unqualified” blacks, Asians, illegal immigrants from the southern border, or whoever else was blamed had nothing to do with taking jobs from the white working class. CEOS and corporate owners sent those jobs away. Their pockets got fat while race baiting white working-class citizens into a victim mentality.

And this is what created the rise of a demagogue like trump.

Here is a bit of reading that will debunk your premise, but provides actual evidence that identity, race, and gender politics have been in play and pushed by the left for decades.

Wow really? You really just said that?

Yep, because the racist claim of me whining is a gaslighting tactic.

Blacks have legitimate grievances with the way we have been treated.

Only racists think it's whining.

No, it doesn't debunk anything. This nation was built based on race and there is a section of the white community that wants to continue making sure that they stayed preferred. I don't need to read some bs a right winger tells me to believe. In the modern era it has been republicans using identity politics.

 

[IM2]

Lets see, republican politicians have used thousands of hours of airtime denigrating BLM, CRT, Woke, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Obama and his wife, multiculturalism, Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, Affirmative Action. blacks taking a knee in peaceful protest, Mike Brown, George Floyd, I can go on and on. Yet none of this is considered playing the race card or identity politics.

This is how delusional people on the right are.

So, the more you whine and point fingers and indulge in race hatred, the more people turn in to racists?

I think we have finally solved racism, folks! Just get IM2 to shut the fuck up so he doesn't turn everybody else into a racist!

Clearly, IM2’s objective is to create more hostility toward blacks and advance racism. I suspect he’s doing it as part of a Democrat campaign tactic.

I mean, what else can Democrats run on? The economy? Inflation? World peace? Secure borders? Improved education of our children? They have only two things:

1) Whitey bad
2) Orange man even badder

Yeah it's freedom of expression until blacks use theirs and then we see people censoring things calling it all CRT when it isn't.
