Americans Are Shifting The Rest Of Their Identity To Match Their Politics

quote [ These results add to the growing evidence that in our current era, political affiliations and beliefs are increasingly at the core of many Americans’ self-conceptualizations. ]

It's true. They started calling people cucks, next thing you know...

Edit...
Content Warning:rape and other fucked up shit. I don't actually recommend reading it. This joke is totally in bad taste and I already regret it. Just know that Paul Manafort is a piece of shit.

A note on the Manafort texts - background regarding legitimacy, wikileaks, etc.

Holy fuck - some things you read make you feel like you need a shower afterward. This made me feel like being blasted with Clorox and scrubbed with a wire brush.

Who you are is supposed to inform your politics, not the other way around.

It is frustrating when people lump together identities such as race, gender, and SGM in with identities such as liberal, evangelical, partisan.

America has a centuries-long history of mistreatment of the former group to varying extents. When someone makes an effort toward achieving equality for people who have been systemically oppressed, it is dismissed as "playing identity politics", when in reality it is basic justice that is due all. There has not been a systemic disenfranchisement of, say, evangelicals or Democrats, etc. It is not the same.

But there is currently a disenfranchisement of Democratic voters, by disenfranchising groups that tend to vote Dem. Voter ID, closing polling places, gerrymandering, etc is aimed at Democrats. That it harms AA voters is a bonus.

Tom Ballard, an Australian comedian did this on his show "Tonightly"...a fun indictment of the Left. He's like an Aussie Charlie Brooker...or the other way 'round
'We are useless': Tonightly on why leftwing outrage will lead us to an alt-right world

Backpfeifengesicht Neville Chamberlain is annoying and wrong.

Huh?

Meaning Jazz Twemlow, who has a punchable face, is annoying while wrongly suggesting that appeasing Nazis is an acceptable path toward political success.

Not surprising. Hell, Christians are changing their religion to adhere to party ideology.

People believe what they want to believe.
