Trump manages to break the grip of identity politics

J.B. White:

Trump Has Broken the Apology Hypnosis on Race

...
That identity politics game, part and parcel of the Communism/Marxism/Socialism dialectic, could only work for as long as Americans of European descent were consistently hypnotized into thinking of themselves as guilty white people who forever had to apologize, apologize, apologize. I mean, every white male I’ve ever met has a white mother. Most of whom, love their son(s). These children often have white brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and—incredibly—white grandparents.

Donald J. Trump, simultaneously as Deprogrammer-in-Chief and Liberator-in-Chief, was able through skillful utilization of his brilliant and relentless laser (yes, by this I mean his Twitter account) to break the apology hypnosis that was strangling the dominant ethnic group in the nation. It was no surprise when a majority of white males voted for him to be president in the general election.

The no way to get around it stunner was that most white females voted for him as well. Donald Trump had invited them into the coalition to Make America Great Again, and they accepted.

And, with that, it is game over for identity politics in America.

There is much more in the long piece.

 I did not realize how much I despised identity politics until I saw the reaction of Houstonians to the flooding and saw everyone working together to save lives and help everyone in that diverse city.  It was both refreshing and inspiring. 

Then I saw some players in the NFL try to resurrect it with their protest against the national anthem and flag it reminded me of what I did not like about identity politics again.  The mass rejection of their protest shows there are millions in this country who also despise it.  Liberals still can't comprehend why it is not working anymore and they compound their problems by playing the race card.
