The comment has been edited since I responded . Also , when policy is identity based e . g . Muslim ban , No Marriage Equality for LGBT , voting restrictions in high minority areas then the politics is identity based . Blame the Republican Southern Strategy that they ' re locked into . Their coalition won ' t let them be moderate on immigration or minority oppression , they ' ve got too many white rural racists to appease for the R ' s to be the big tent party in 2016 . So they stopped trying and just doubled down on their base . Stop acting like you didn ' t just live through Donald Trump ' s campaign . <| sep |> That ' s just evil man . <| sep |> I got an approved email which had a link to set up an online account . <| sep |> Yea , being able to go from parent comment to parent comment is essential for me
