The Republicans absolutely play identity politics. Don't pretend that they don't do the exact same thing just on the opposite spectrum. Demonizing an entire segment of the population to scare your base into voting because the "other" people are coming for your stuff. This nonsense about makers and takers with the implication that all minorities want to just be takers and leech off the white working class citizens debunks your case entirely.
Think long and hard about why you respond to nonsense. Please!
