On a podcast with Trump hating attorney Preet Bharara (SDNY), atheist philosopher and for "New Atheism" horseman Sam Harris goes scorched earth against identity politics as practiced by the Democrats:
Key Points that Harris makes in this interview:
1. Identity politics should be dead now with Trump's election
2. Democrats championed fake racism because there was not enough real racism in society
3. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a corrupt, indoctrinated organization that invents racism everywhere and no one should take it seriously any more
4. All pandering to imagined victim groups has backfired
5. Identity politics is a moral failure
They never forgive you for being right.
Won’t stop the leftists. They will continue to use the race card at every chance. They have been using the same ole playbook for decades.
Oh, and part of the reason Kamala lost — sexism — too many voters did not want a woman president. [Maybe, if she had had any real policies and plans, she might have been more successful.]
They never forgave Nixon for being right about commie infiltration, and for zapping Helen Gahagan Douglas.
Sure, but how do they back out of it? The commitment is so strong and so many crooked pockets are being lined that it’s going to be very difficult to change direction at this point.
I don’t seem to disagree with his listed points.
Interesting to hear from an atheist. One would expect atheists to be right up there with faggots,transgenders and wetbacks as the biggest Rat Party cheerleaders.
Apparently he was fine with all that nasty nonsense, until it stopped working for them.
“Sure, but how do they back out of it? The commitment is so strong and so many crooked pockets are being lined that it’s going to be very difficult to change direction at this point.”

Not long after he was appointed and confirmed as Chief Justice, Roberts was interviewed regarding his legal view of policies like affirmative action, minority preference, and reparations.
The Chief Justice said, “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
A Supreme Court decision using that basic analysis would go a long way toward resolving much of the conflicting mental gymnastics and skewed reward system of our current model.
Absurd statement. Atheists can be rational and conservative as easily as can religionists. And many of them more so.
At all.
Nor do I.
The smallest minority is the individual.
If you want to support minority rights, support individual rights.
The Constitution’s Bill of Rights is a good place to start. It lists restrictions on the government so that individuals can be free.
I think the first two of the rights are the most important. The Left might want to start there.
Biden Trump
Protestant...................39% 60%
Catholic.....................52% 47%
Jewish.......................76% 22%
Other religion............68% 29%
None.........................65% 31%
None of the naacp, aclu or other type organizations will ever declare racism defeated as that would stop the gravy train.
Trump atheists might be outnumbered 2 to 1, but they are just as fervent believers in Trump and conservative principles as those who include theism in their belief package.
Well said, Mairdie.
Yep. And I love how atheists come up with some sort of ‘moral’ line in the sand.
“ Won’t stop the leftists”
This Harris guy, a Hollywood princeling, is saying this because he is for the leftists.
He can see it’s not a winning strategy.
