The Political Hat

     If there is one glaring side-effect of “fighting like the Left”, it is that seems to necessitate “thinking like the Left”, or at least gravitate thinking thereto, not only as it pertains to tactics and strategy—superficially at least—but as it regards ideological underpinnings.

     Such as is the case with the criticism of “asymmetrical multiculturalism”. For the Left, it is a tool to divide people, not only amongst identity groups associated with the Left, but to reduce America into a small intersectional identity group with it tarred with the appellation of “oppressor”.

     Fighting for that monocultural and precious inheritance is difficult, especially when the tolerance and anti-uniformity sentiments of Americans is exploited by the Left; this is especially so when some go out of there way to fit the stereotype of a small minded bigot who believes that people can not become Americans and feels that even some who are natural born Americans are not “of the body”, so as to speak. Rather than fight the long and hard fight against multiculturalism, some have decided to embrace it, but with a reversal of which side in the Progressive’s laid out scheme is good and which side is the villain.
