- FeloniousHam 2y agoThat title is interesting. I've heard the corollary that the social justice/identity politics of the 2010s through Peak Woke is what awakened a "white" identity in the US. The MAGAs responded to the "sins of the fathers" narrative by accepting and celebrating their identity. Unintended consequences.
