Pete Buttigieg wants you to know, as a gay man, he's a minority too by AndrewRomano
Pete Buttigieg thinks he can solve the issue of identity politics in America — and his solution is Pete Buttigieg.
But the entirety of Buttigieg’s remarks make it clear that the mayor is in fact attempting something more subtle, and ultimately more risky, than a mere repudiation. But Buttigieg also criticized those who use identity as a tool of division — not just in the Trump administration, which “has mastered the practice of the most divisive form of such politics, which is white identity,” but on the left as well, where “these divisive lines of thinking have even entered into the consciousness of my own party.”
“The more you know about exclusion, the more you think about belonging — and we have a crisis of belonging in this country,” the mayor said. “What every gay person has in common with every excluded person of any kind is knowing what it’s like to see a wall between you and the rest of the world, and wonder what it’s like on the other side.”
