Shouldn't that make us more worried about politicians who try to plumb the potential from disunity ?
Don't they all do that? What do you think identity politics is all about? And what is more divisive, a social conservative who ignores social conservative issues (like Harper did) or a progressive (Trudeau) who keeps bemoaning how horrible white people are and how racist they are, and how its necessary to require affirmative action programs in all things?
