This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it's an identity. They think it's an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she's (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It's all about identity.

I've heard this same thing said to me by Hitler humpers trying to recruit me based on what I look like, just because we're blonde haired and blue eyed with fair skin does not make us want to be a part of their hateful bullshit.

Anti racists come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. That’s kinda the fucking point actually.

"But you would be part of the in-group! So why don't you help us make the out-groups life miserable?!"

Is there any tangible advantage to be in the ingroup? What's that I have to give 10% of my income to the church? What's that I have to donate money to a billionaire? What's that I will literally die from treatable malidies?

Yayyyyy....
