And what about the black and latino voters? Do we coddle them? Or could it be that the complex society that is America doesn't play neatly into the game of identity politics that you're playing and insisting the rest of us get on board with.

69,000,000 people did not vote for racism and fascism, they voted for the Republican Party. The smart question to ask is 'why?'. Identity poltiics falls down at the first hurdle. You can state unequivacally that all white people oppress all people of colour - but that doesn't make it true for the homeless guy in the rust belt when he compares himself with the metropolitian business woman in the suburbs of california. No amount of loudly insisting it will make him change his mind - a demagogue who suggests that he's been wronged will get him every time. Identity politics and Trumpism are entwined at the core level.

And the democrats are hardly an oppressed group. For one thing, they won a majority in the election. I suspect we won't be able to debate further as you opened with a personal attack - but don't confuse not agreeing with you as an absence of morals- morality is a complex philosophical topic - not just a word to be thrown around beause people disagree with you.
