Decaying capitalist society in " America the Exceptional " desperately needs a political ideology that helps it save face while attacking the generic working class at home and promoting the New Colonialism in the Middle East and the New Cold War with nuclear powers Russia and China.
" Across The Divide, Identity Politics Unites The Base At Both CPAC And DNC " ( NPR )
That explains the obsession with now effete, phony, and too often vicious " identity politics ".
The unspoken assumption of " identity politics " is an ever threatening, ignorant, stupid, and hateful white working class majority.
The American ruling class -above all -fears basic DEMOCRACY - called " majority rule ".
If anything the working class majority is the protector of oppressed minorities. And LOVE, I recall , has been preached by New Testament Christianity for 2000 years now.
I just read Tolstoy's interpretation of the New Testament. He sees this holy book as condemning war between nations. How many hawkish Democrats would agree with the famous Russian author of " War and Peace " ?
