Identity politics is now the term du jour and its meaning is clear enough on a superficial level—choosing people according to their physical characteristics and sexual preferences. The left wants more people of color, women, and gays in influential positions, while the right insists that these traits are secondary to competence in a given job.
This faulty understanding of the term illustrates once again how the left hoodwinks the clueless right by manipulating language. Identity politics is not about filling positions of power with those who “look like America.” Rather, it is about populating government with not especially bright ideologues. All the yammering about the “under-represented” is artful deception.

Truly said. Are you competent to do the tasks this job requires is the only useful question to ask anyone.

Problem is that it's the far left that is complaining that this isn't happening. The incoming administration is using the competenance in a given job process. Guess even that doesn't satisfy the far right.
