They really seem ingrained in the politics and the culture in many ways. Maybe if the news just stopped covering politics altogether, but that would only deny the truth.

Kind of hard to get past "racial politics" when we still have racial gerrymandering, and people fighting to continue it:

@zaryia: Hell, we've gone well beyond mere gerrymandering now. We're no longer merely diffusing the power of voters but outright stripping them of their ability to vote altogether.

Idunno, why don't you ask the white right wing. They seem to be the ones who are stuck on race.

Once the republicans lose power across the nation and the white nationalist minority loses control of the government, yes, I'm sure the US will get past racial politics. Old white racists sitting in political seats are the only reason why it's still around.

Most minority politicians these days don't ever even mention it. They just talk about issues the people are facing and how they'll fix them.

Seeing as divide and rule works so well....

I'm guessing that identity politics won't go away anytime soon.

Sure thing. Just fix all of the race-related issues that have gone unaddressed in the past 240 some odd years and we can move right past it.

Racism is what gives certain politicians and political parties power.

With a divided view on identity politics, both parties can either sell you a turd sandwich or a douche.

The country wasn't ready for social media. Especially baby boomers.

Is way too easy to spread misinformation. And baby boomers eat that shit up.

Once America's worst generation ever starts to die off, the country can heal

@Nuck81: That generation is just an ideological disaster all the way around. The only thing their policies and rhetoric are really consistent in is selfishness.

Yet it is the left that brings it into every conservation.
