It’s called “Balkanization”.
Tito was able to keep Yugoslavia united, through intimidation.
Once he passed away, it was only a matter of time before the old grievances returned and you got what you got in The Balkans in the 90s.
It didn’t take intimidation for people to unite here, it was a given that you melted in.
But suddenly our education system started telling children that the “Melting Pot” was a racist concept, meant to keep Whites in power. And thus, began “The Road to Balkanization”, and now, here we are!
Yes, it is balkanization. The problem is that it only works when you are not in power. The democrats are an impossible coalition when they have real power because many of their special interests or identity politics constituents are fundamentally opposed to one another. They are a great opposition party, but they are a horrible governing party.
We have a bunch of wealthy older whites with power in the house of representatives who somehow think they can put on cultural apparel and kneel down and somehow they represent that cultural group when they have done NOTHING in reality to help them for decades. Can you imagine the media hysteria if a bunch of GOPe Senators put on scarves and knelt down? They would scream, yet none blinked an eye when a very wealthy privileged person from San Francisco appropriated cultural garb to somehow claim they represent them. They don’t and never can.
None of this works. They are fools to think they can ride this to power in November. Outside of leftist enclaves, this will not only kill them in swing districts, it will likely cause some major upsets in deep blue areas like NYC because they have now framed the election as law and order vs chaos.
The all-important suburban women vote is watching this and shaking their heads. The fence sitters are watching this and shaking their heads. Trump’s base was already very motivated and he has picked up voters with his performance. A significant portion of the black and latino vote will support Trump. A significant portion of union voters will vote with their wallets and support Trump. They cannot even get on the right side of the China issue!
The left is truly an entity where the radical 1% controls the 99% according to media coverage. You and I both know that principle looks good on television, but it sucks at the ballot box.
