Reason and emotion. People make up their mind with a combination of both. Progressives believe they have a monopoly on the issue of justice (social justice). In response, conservatives run into the trap of contering with the call for freedom. But a violation of justice always produces outrage, the biolation of freedom only produces puzzlement. We routinely deny people certain freedoms, but there is no such thing as okay injustice.
If someone calls someone else a racist, the charge is uninformed and dishonest. A true racist would be proud of their racism. It would be like pointing out that the sky is blue. The comment is dishonest because it is acknowledging that the accused person at least recognizes that racism is bad.
Explaination of identity politics.
You either worship God, the body, or the State. Religion, hedonism, or socialism. Only religion has built modern civilization where there is value for each human life. Modern atheism denies the religious ground its standing on. Townhall meetings: you can’t make public policy based on individual sympathies. How can I help you individually is a religious problem and then lets get back to discissing politics which deal with policies that help the maximim amount of people.

Identity politics: here is a policy that benefits this particular group, if you oppose it, then your a racist. Democrats buy off minority groups until they get 51%. Chuck shummer commemted to D’Souza, you asians folks come to America, get jobs, work hard and don’t ask for anything. Politics = you ask, and we deliver. What do your people want. Concervatism opposes group-specific policies. Fair = no special treatment. Everyone under the same rules. Conservatism treats people as individuals and not as a race or group identity.
