quote [ I?ve been angry and disgusted about a lot of things since Election Day. But over the past few days I?ve been angrier than Jack Nicholson?s character from The Shining to see all these so-called ?progressives? come out of the fucking woodwork to crucify Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) for voting against one amendment to a budget reconciliation bill that could have allowed Americans to buy cheaper imported prescription drugs from Canada???even though the amendment wasn?t going to become law ]
I'm not sure I endorse these sentiments, but let's have a spirited discussion about them!

I am not about to disagree there!
Trump is basically an angry white guy version of identity politics. I hardly think it's just people of color, feminist, or really just one group. It's just I can't help steer the side of the assholes.

Swing voters think they are smarter than other people. They want to convinced of something. When one side has no nuance the other side can claim it even if they themselves don't actually have it.
The appearance of complexity in views will draw that sort of person to them, the appearance of incomplexity in views will repeal them. If you ever watch Milo Yianapolis (I hate him) you still see him make this play in his debates. It's not an accident.

And lastly, we have to move away from this because unlike the GOP Democrats are the big tent party. The GOP can afford to play the race to the bottom version of infantile identity politics. We can't.
