Identity politics are garbage. Nobody really cares about your status as a transgender--it doesn't give you the special right to break the rules or to say stupid things about journalism and journalistic integrity. In essence, your firing is a moment for reflection, a chance to grow up and learn to be objective because that's what we expect of journalists, not this partisan schlock that masquerades as news. You should at least treat Trump fairly--he's putting the people of the United States first and foremost, a concept that hasn't happened in decades. I'm not sure why that has been labeled 'racist' since it is quite clear there is racial inclusion going on. But the left just can't stop with its idiotic "literally Hitler" bs long enough to see that, or they don't want to see that because it flies in the face of statism, collectivism, and a bunch of other stupid 'isms' that are long past the point of needing to evaporate.

> Identity politics are garbage. I agree, stand-by to be down-voted into oblivion. Besides journalists should report the news instead of being the news or creating non-issues as in a lot of cases. I call it the oprahfication of the commons.

> he's putting the people of the United States first and foremost, a concept that hasn't happened in decades This is perhaps true for ~60 million voters. Extrapolating that to the "people of the United States" is a stretch. It's like saying Obama put the people first because insuring 16M people promotes general well-being of society --some truth, but discounting perspectives of a large portion of "the people." It's more true that we haven't seen a president hold true to his base in decades (e.g. Obama didn't close Guantanamo). > quite clear there is racial inclusion going on As a person of color, I know several people of color who support Trump but I have not seen statements or policies that read or sound inclusive to me.
