>Agreed. These days, Identity politics is absolutely dominated by the idea that everything is just a point-of-view and ideas/arguments are inseparable from the identity of the person putting them forth.
Not at all. Identity politics is merely an "us vs them" game with identity only being used to call people sexist/racist/___phobic to force them to agree or be labelled a bigot.
If you're white and you support Trump you're a bigot. If you're black and support trump you're an Uncle Tom. If you're a woman and support Trump you have internalized misogyny. To people playing the identity politics game it doesn't matter what identity you have as a person because "you're wrong". There is no identity in which you can support Trump and not be "wrong" in doing so.
Once upon a time it was the Conservatives playing the identity politics game. Now it is the regressive left and oh boy did they tip the scale more than just flipping it.
