This: "It’s able to do this because our modern mass media have rendered white identity politics invisible, despite its being the original identity politics. This why the New York Times can declare identity politics dead when in fact they rage throughout MAGA world."

This part is why MAGA and others are going after DEI and Critical Race Theory. CRT addresses whiteness as property (Harris, 1993) as well as the normality of racism. Racism is so mundane that it undergirds the institutions and norms that a lot of folks were trying to defend in this election.

Excellent piece - thank you.

Good article. But this was just part of the problem. When asked if she thought she would do anything different from Biden, she said she couldn't think of anything. She also didn't say anything about the genocide in Israel. From what I have read she gave a lot of mealy mouth answers. It was also a mistake not to go on Joe Rogan's show.

The genocide in Gaza? Not hearing much about it these days...since Russia got what it wanted by agitating these groups ( i.e. the election of trump ). Russia, and Putin, who have killed 500,000 directly in Ukraine and 500,000 indirectly in Syria, friend of trump, friend of Tulsi, friend of Musk.....
