“I disagree with Musicology man. I thought this was excellent, one of Chotiner's best. After hearing Lilla being interviewed by NPR and the New Yorker, I was predisposed to see his side of the argument: Democrats have caved into identity politics and, because of this, have lost their way. Yet Chotiner continued to press Lilla on the data for this -- where are the Dems caving in? Not Obama, not Schumer or Pelosi, all of whom use inclusive rhetoric. Meanwhile Chotiner made the point that, on the right, identity politics has become boilerplate rhetoric at the state and national level. While Lilla used anecdotes from college campuses to make his point about an out of touch liberal elite, Chotiner stuck to the data. There is better evidence that the shift has been an embrace of ethnic nationalism on the right rather than identity politics on the left. I was stunned when Lilla refused to acknowledge white racial anxiety as a primary component of the shift from Blue states to Red. Even 50 years ago Lyndon Johnson -- a master of legislatative assessment-- predicted the turning of the south after Civil Rights legislation. As a history prof myself, I think that Chotiner got the better of Lilla on this issue. He was incisive, insistant, and exceptionally polite. Well done.
