Ok, so this is at least a little peculiar avenue where identity politics breaks down, at least as far as light attitudes (you might expect online say) concerning ethnicity and Trump. The first thing coming to mind was two Puerto Ricans who also happen to be homosexual (I think, I could be mistaken) that were berating an African American uber driver, anchoring his car down by refusing to get out while they were on the phone with the police claiming that he was harassing them for not changing the music or something and eventually terminating their ride. Among the verbal cascade of obscenities I'm pretty sure racial slurs and proclamation of Trump's America were accounted for. If true then it's downright shocking I know.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 7:26 pmWhat would those "otherwise identity groups" be?BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sat Feb 16, 2019 11:57 pm Hardy har, but really though there is conscientious attitude towards nonprogressive people that belong to otherwise identity groups that have the progressive's eyes for concern.
So do progressives just kinda have nothing to say about it due to identity politics? Of course not. I'm pretty sure this got to my attention from George Takei's Facebook feed which tends to transmit pretty juicy instances like this, or maybe not so juicy but nonetheless also accompanied by the viral and vitriolic reactions to them. George is all about progressivism, and eventually I did remember noticing that his page would post more and more stuff that kinda grayed out the identity politics moniquer.
It's just that you don't really have to conflate the white supremacy attitudes of the alt-right with the instance noted above. Anything I possibly misrepresented in that account, this at least you can come away with for understanding reactions to Trump on both sides.
