I don't follow you.

Sure, people often are emotionally involved and not logically involved when it comes to politics, but it's not particullary bound to any political colour.
I have not made any exclusionary claim. The reason I put forward the commentary for replies was I thought the charge made was interesting. It interested me, because the critique of identity politics would actually place it parallel to religious sentiment as a simple example. This would explain the emotionalism and provide context.

It doesn't seem many of the replies have challenged the conclusion, but have instead been either hostile or wanted to point to other groups as well. This suggests the author may have got it right.
