Read the whole thing, but the opening sets up the problem for democrats going forward:
"While our society’s growing hate hysteria against straight white men may seem a bit demented, it is actually a logical requirement of the fundamental strategy of the Democratic Party: to mobilize a Coalition of the Margins comprising identity groups—such as blacks, transgenders, Muslims, and Jews—who don’t have much to unite them other than their resentment of old-fashioned Americans.
Hence stoking fear and loathing of core Americans is the one strategy the Democrats have for keeping their constituents from turning on each other."
How long with that strategy work?
