No.. The left said one half was "deplorable." Really no wink needed.
The very people who were saying that most of us aren't real Americans, no?
You can't just get a pass pretending Trump used identity politics anywhere near what the left did, and has done.
It wasn't close. Clinton ran an extremely wonky campaign, while Trump was 100% identity politics. We're seeing the same thing this year. Look at the campaign ads. Democrats are running on policy, while Republicans are running on crazy culture shit.
Sure, but liking the proposals or not doesn't change the nature of them.
But the point is that they were just symbolic. Meant that way and taken that way. There wasn't any serious policy discussion.
