      Come on, putting Candace Owens up against Cornel West is just embarrassing. Can conservatives stop pretending that this person has any legitimate insights. She's a product of nothing more than simple-minded "identity politics" on the infotainment Rightpic.twitter.com/rBj9eR5xWt

      Media conservatives: we hate identity politics Media conservatives: we love this person making explicitly identity-based appeals to further a political agenda

      Candace's entire argument amounts to "Vote Republican." She's not making an intellectual case for anything. She's just the latest iteration of the longstanding tradition by the institutional conservative movement to elevate "fresh faces" who can spout their tired talking points

      but typically people like her rise as a "fun house mirror" She essentially reflect identity politics back at the left. The idea being that when a bunch of white people surround and berate her is shows hypocrisy of their position

      Conservatives are the ones who most often claim to be opposed to "identity politics" on principle, but the rise of Candace shows they're just as eager to use the tactic when it suits their interests

      I don't see how she advocates for identity politics. Yeah she's black woman, and yes that makes her effective against the LEFT's identity politics, but she still advocates individualism as far as I'm aware.

      She runs an organization called "Blexit" that is founded on a race-based appeal

          She’s preaching individualism and independent thinking to a group that’s been treated and taken for granted as a voting bloc. If that’s also identity politics I have no idea how to break free of it then.
