If there's anything positive that came out of this election it's the evidence of the terrible folly of identity politics. It was entirely predictable (and many have been warning about it for years) that when you legitimize an ideology that sees all politics as a struggle between groups of people based on race and gender, that you will eventually provoke a backlash from others rallying under the banners of race and gender. Hopefully the people who have encouraged this folly will change tack and return to the classical liberal individualism that was responsible for all of the genuine progress we made in the last century.
