A FAIR study of US newspapers found the overwhelming majority of times the vague term “identity politics” was mentioned, it was referring to Democrats and the left.

    I believe it if they say that’s how it’s more often used, but the left by no means has a monopoly on identity politics.

    I mean, it’s not the side I see walking around wearing matching hats.

        I’m agreeing with the article, using an example to reiterate the article’s central message that there’s a discrepancy between how the term is usually directed vs reality.
