Another traditional liberal:
.
Can you provide an example of an oppressed group oppressing another less oppressed group?
Well, that's easy.
Oppressor from Oppressed Group/Oppressed, Acceptable to Oppress the Oppressor
Ann Coulter/Any Oppressed group she criticizes
Milo/Any Oppressed group he criticizes
Clarence Thomas/Any Oppressed group he criticizes
Any minority Christian/Muslim
Any female Christian/Muslim
Any poor Christian/Muslim
That'll do, since I know I'm wasting my time anyway. Rubin merely pointing out that there is a pecking order within the various grievance groups, and it is situational. That part of his argument isn't a high priority for me, but I do agree with it.

Let me extrapolate on Macs point----------. identity politics is ANGER politics, which is all regressives are always angry! The left has nothing to run on, so they create anger AGAINST a boogeyman. But, as everyone here knows, anger dissipates. Doubt me? Think of when you were in high school, college, or some other point in your life where there was someone you could not stand, and in fact probably hated. Now today, when you think of that person, do you still hate/despise them?
For most people, the answer is a resounding no! You may not like them still in your minds eye, but despise or hate; not likely. This is why the regressives always have to gin up a reason for groups to hate Republicans, to keep the anger going, always bubbling. The reason they give for voting is NOT their policies, but because they despise/hate the other side, because as regressives put it, "republicans hate all of you!" Now I don't know about all of my republican/conservative bretheren, but most people I know believe that Democrats are good people with bad ideas.
Not so for the leftists. They have been conditioned to believe we are evil people who just want to screw all of them. We are raaaaaaaaciiiiist. Just look at some of their posts on here-) We are homophobic, we are anti everything, and why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Because according to their programming, we HATE them, therefore, they should hate us!
But then, were it NOT for their identity politics of hate, what would they run on? For the sake of debate, let us REMOVE the politics of anger from their platform, and create the REAL platform they are running on, shall we!
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM-------->
1. more taxes
2. open borders
3. keeping kids on the plantation of their public schools.
4. telling you what kind of healthcare you can LEGALLY buy.
5. massive transfer of wealth
6. raising your utility bills
7. centralized government control of virtually all aspects of your life.
8. allowing men in the womens bathrooms, and vice versa
9 denying states rights
10 rewriting as much of the constitution as soon as possible, so as they can do the previous 9 as soon as they get back in power
Now you know why the leftists MUST use the politics of hate to INFURIATE their constituents to vote. If they put out what they actually stand for, they would be laughed out of existence.
