re: #555 Afrocity

Plus, I think you miss my point in the previous post.

I really wish for the identity politics to go away, it serves nobody’s best interests.

We need to somehow, get back to the central idea of how this country was founded, as a shared common interest R-D-I, etc.

I have grown to detest all of the political contortion, via special interest.

How is that working for you? Or the GOP?
I am not saying it is right.
It is what it is.
The demographic of the US is changing
It will either benefit the GOP or hurt it.
You decide.

I had to get them both in here, because I think you are both right. The way to appeal to a larger audience though is to point out how all the ‘groups’ are actually Americans with like needs. The trick is to stand up and address them all with honesty and tell each group that is exactly what is being done.
Look at women, talk to women, and explain how women can benefit from a policy that also benefits, say, scientists, or, Christians, or, Health Nuts. Bring people together not with promises but with honesty.
It can be done. Who has the guts to do it?
