| In Trump's America, social justice warriors need to do the one thing they hate |
| 2016-11-22 |
| h/t Instapundit [NYPost] From transactivists to #blacklivesmatter, social justice groups have taken a serious shellacking over the past 10 days. And despite years of indulgence by a pliant left, the election of Donald Trump suggests that the current era of identity politics is rapidly reaching its expiration date. For many, it won’t come soon enough. Enabled by the academy and coddled by Hillary Clinton, social justice warriors have been given free rein over a liberal elite too scared -- or simply too lazy -- to know any better. Fueled by a mix of intolerance and entitlement, the left has cultivated a culture of closed-mindedness that’s left little room for individual thinking and intelligent discourse. Shaming skeptics and silencing critics, they railed against microaggressions and demanded safe spaces. But along the way, the social justice crowd forgot one key thing -- no space is ever safer than the American ballot box. |

| #1 The only thing that will end identity politics is to dry up the funding sources that keep it alive. End affirmative action. See to it that the high court reverses or revises Griggs vs Duke Power. Shrink the size of the government "work" force at all levels to pre-Great Society levels. Defund the left whenever possible in academia and other areas of public grants and subsidies. When being part of a victim group that bullies the public at large, or being an overt anti-Christian bigot, or advocating for a Soviet style society, or indoctrinating students to do any of these with public education money, etc., earn you a one-way trip to economic oblivion, I think you'll see the SJW autocrats slink away to find some other way to feed, clothe, and house themselves. |
