To Dave Rubin, the appropriate response to leftist intolerance is to turn right. In a livestream posted on YouTube the day before the election, Rubin said that while he still "begrudgingly" considers himself a liberal, the left has been completely taken over by "identity politics" and "Democratic Socialists." He's wrong about this. For one, Donald Trump himself is a master of identity politics. Watch him on the campaign trail and you will notice that he paints a false narrative that the country is being besieged by immigrants from the Middle East and the South, as though what is essential about this nation will be challenged by letting non-white refugees and immigrants make the U.S. their home. But, as Rubin notes, identity politics are all about judging people not as individuals, but according to the particular categories under which they fall. And when Trump calls Mexican immigrants "criminals" or "rapists," or when he says a judge can't be impartial based on his ethnicity, he is engaging in exactly that, but Dave Rubin seems to forget that identity politics is not just for those on the left. by Katie Herzog
