“Identity politics” mentioned @13:30 here by Paul Joseph Watson...

(Hearing Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio use Obama’s word “shellacked” while discussing the Democrats’ need for better messaging is humorously ironic, as there is very little original messaging in reusing a word someone else introduced into the vernacular.)

Aw ain't he cute. He thinks that "original messaging" -- only Lord Obama can now use the word "shellacked", apparently -- is more important than the message itself -- that the Dems were, in fact, "shellacked".

And for that reason, this would fall under the 95% of times that a "journalist" or reporter mis-uses the word "ironic" as well.

But identities are vitally important in motivating voters. And besides, white people have them, too.

Yes, conservatives have identities too. I'm a patriotic American, and I vote for patriotic Americans, just like the overwhelming majority of decent people in our country.

Conservatives were okay with Governor Sarah Palin, even though liberals were skeptical because she is female and in a mixed-race marriage. Sensible people were indifferent to those details and loved her for her love of our country. Similar statements could be made about Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, Justice Clarence Thomas, and many others that the left would like to categorize and label based on superficial factors but we see as matching our American identity. Today's left is racist and sexist.

“values voters” who readily accepted a thrice-divorced philanderer as their candidate are very receptive to the idea that their identities as Christian conservatives are under siege when they support laws in Indiana, North Carolina, and Texas to ward off threats to traditional marriage, bathroom stall etiquette, and religious freedom.

After "the race card", "the hypocrisy card" is perhaps the second-most-played card in the deck. Similarly, it's usually mis-played as well. There's no contradiction here -- a man cheated on his wife in NY twenty years ago, therefore my daughter has to accept that laws passed by a legislature in NC this year to allow grown men in her school's bathroom? Therefore I have to bake a cake for a gay wedding?

Yeah, I hope dummiecrats keep thinking this. They can’t get enough of losing!
