There’s an old saying, supposedly from Mark Twain: “Never argue with idiots. They’ll drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
Such it is with identity politics. The idea that Americans should all be squabbling, drooling idiots who can’t agree on anything has been very bad for everybody. When one group demands that another group’s rights be diminished, and they in turn do the same, everyone ends up losing a little bit of their rights.
