I get there ' s a nuance , but those grey exceptions aren ' t the ones that I refer to , I ' m specifically talking about people that only seem to stop at the Identity part , and don ' t delve deeper . Using an example , there are gay republicans , and republicans that support gay marriage , but otherwise don ' t support a trove of other issues . Unless a person literally only cares about gay marriage , then they are likely to vote for a person who agrees with them on one point , while disagreeing with them on others that could be as or even more important . The other problem is a lot of people , that some would claim are the loudest minority , that say racist or sexist things on one hand while saying progressive things on another , you can ' t hold both views and be a person of integrity , these are the people that tend to become representative of a group simply because they are the most driven . Rationality and inclusiveness must prevail for progress to actually be achieved .
