Beyond Identity Politics

The politics of identity on the left is valid as far as it goes -- in defending certain, mostly protected classes from their tormentors. Republicans hate blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, women, gay people, the poor, old people and the sick and so on. Republicans hate humanity. They even hate themselves, their one justifiable prejudice. The results can be seen in their willingness to idolize Trump, a sign of loathing everything.

Republicans hate all of creation. 

This aspect of puritanical psychology has taken over the soul of the party. The brains are applied to raking in unwarranted profits, not that Puritans ever had any problem with profit. Wealth results from holiness.  Profit is evidence of election. Identity politics is therefore ineffective in combatting Republicanism. It fails to capture the scope of their hatred. The obvious bigotries are symptoms of a larger, deeper problem.
