. But the left should not be surprised whites are beginning to operate by the same rules of identity politics progressives encourage for everyone else. After all, on American college campuses, identity politics has long since driven out any serious discussion of principles. It’s all about teaching victimhood, who can be the biggest victim and how to use your racial or gender or sexual identity to gain more privileges and power on a college campus. Greer said the rise of the so-called alt right and white-identity politics is not surprising, given how the left has demonized white students purely because of the color of their skin. “Absolutely, it’s a result of what we’re seeing from the left, of what I call in my book minority-identity politics,” said Greer. “On a college campus, they encourage all sorts of identity politics unless it’s white identity politics. “And they take the natural conclusion [from what’s happening on college campuses] – I’m going to start advocating for white-identity politics against everybody else’s identity politics. “To see how bad it is, I would simply just point at what happened at Evergreen State in May,” Greer said. “There was a woman at Evergreen State, I believe she was actually a leftist herself, who said, ‘I don’t want to speak up in class because I’m a white woman and I’ll be immediately shouted down by my classmates, told to shut up because you have privilege, you wouldn’t understand this topic.

Trump’s Opposition: Nitpick, Distort, Exaggerate, Omit and Lie. If you get your news from the mainstream media, you’re getting a very skewed view of what’s going on. We’ve seen the worst of it with the obsessive effort attempting to show there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government that influenced the presidential election. His tweets are dissected and criticized every day. Since the media no longer get as much news about him from gotcha questions at White House press conferences, they are relegated to picking apart his tweets. No one actually believes Trump supports white supremacists, so the nitpicking was a lie. This is what they nitpicked: In Trump’s first statement, made on the second day of the rally, he said in part, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.” He did not specifically name white nationalists and neo-Nazis, but nor did he specifically mention Antifa, the protesters opposing them which is also a group full of hatred and violence. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups.” On August, 14, Trump said, “Racism is evil. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.” Omitting key information is another clever tactic the left uses when reporting on Trump. But while the left spends endless amounts of time picking apart Trump’s tweets and repeating the same things over and over about Russian collusion, Trump is quietly accomplishing more than almost any other president.
