If you're like me, you'd rather walk into traffic than read another centrist/NeverTrump column on why Democrats need to jettison racial liberalism and ID Politics in order to win in 2020.
Well, good news! There's strong evidence those columns are wrong. Not decisive, but strong.

First of all, identity politics (or whatever you want to call it) can be a winning strategy for Democrats. See for instance Stout (2015), which examines the impact of racial appeals by black candidates on voter turnout and partisan support.

When black candidates make positive racial appeals (e.g. "Black unemployment is a top priority for me", "Affirmative action helps to redress discrimination"), black and Latino support increases WITH NO CORRESPONDING DROP in white support.

Portland has been freaking out over @wweek's biased story that @PortlandPolice colluded with right-wing extremists. That is disinformation. The mayor excoriated our law enforcement for the standard practice of communicating with protesters on both sides. oregonlive.com/crime/2019/02/…
The Mayor now says this news creates a "mandate" for all city staff to be re-educated on how to fight "white supremacy." This is a power grab. portlandoregon.gov/wheeler/articl…
Portland's city council also just voted to pull out of the FBI terrorism task force, saying they devote too many resources to investigating Portland's extreme left-wing groups. They also expressed fears that officials would cooperate with federal authorities on immigration.
According to Gavin McInnes' account of founding the Proud Boys, America constituted an exclusive "Nation of Clubs" before feminists like Gloria Steinem disrupted the hierarchy where society assumed that white culture, militant jingoism, and restrictive gender roles were the norm.
McInnes purposely makes the distinction btw. cultural superiority and racial superiority ambiguous; here he euphemistically calls white supremacists like Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor "western chauvinists" and "nationalists". He refers to the Proud Boys under the same terms.
When America was a "Nation of Clubs", men's organizations like "The Know Nothings" existed, which McInnes favorably mentions. "The Know Nothings" brutalized immigrants and lobbied for immigrant bans and quotas.

Haley Adams is also a part of the female division of the nativist, misogynist men's group known as the "Proud Boys", which Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes established. The Proud Boys hate Muslims, non-white immigrants, trans people, and "Western" women who don't want kids.
The FBI now lists the Proud Boys as a hate group. The Proud Boys often engage in street violence and collaborate with violent white supremacists, such as Agustus Sol Invictus who headlined the deadly Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville.

HimToo Organizer Haley Adams is also an avowed white nationalist.
Here's the context @MrAndyNgo strategically omits in his quest to make the #HimToo rally organizers seem like victims and the counter-protesters like the pink haired women in the video seem like the baddies. @RantingF @shoe0nhead @AntiFash Gordon
The organizers of #HimToo are Quincy Franklin/Anatello and Haley Adams. They are Christian Fundamentalists who believe in curtailing women's rights and LGBTQ rights and they think false rape accusations represent a problem of greater magnitude than rapists mostly walking free.
Only an average of 33% of victims report their cases to police according to the National Crime Victims Resource Center. Undetected rapists commit an average of 5.8 rapes each according to a 2002 University of Massachusetts and Brown University Study.

On Sat there will be a #HimToo rally in Portland. The event, organized by a local conservative young woman, is meant to bring attention to men who have been falsely accused of sex crimes. Antifa, Democratic Socialists of America, etc planning mass protest. oregonlive.com/portland/index…
This is the mild event description for the Portland #HimToo event. In response, Portland’s far left has chosen to rage and claim this is an event for misogyny, racism, and fascism.
I was assaulted by a mob of masked individuals in black. They also targeted my equipment. They called me a fascist & Islamophobe. They said my parents & grandparents would be ashamed of me. It feels surreal to be treated this way by people who don’t even know me.
@amandawallwin @moorehn Yup. Nearly 1 in 2 women (44.6%) and
1 in 5 men (22.2%) experienced sexual violence victimization
other than rape at some point
in their lives.

@amandawallwin @moorehn In the only methodologically rigorous US-based study of sexual assault reporting (the “Making a Difference Project”), a multi-site study of 8 U.S. communities, 7% of 2059 cases were coded as false reports. Thread #HimToo
@amandawallwin @moorehn Now, there were 205,680 rapes in 2016. About 22.9% were reported to the police. Given that about 7% of reports were coded “false”, that leaves 3300 reports coded as “false” in the US in 2016. Thread #HimToo
My brother is trending on twitter because of my moms ridiculous tweet. I’m a mixture of laughing hard and feeling bad for him. #HimToo
This has gotten bigger than I anticipated. I’m telling my brother to make a twitter account.
He’s making one but we are on the phone with the media right now. Crazy.

(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(3) An excellent short explainer about the fact that Mitch has the votes:
Patriot Prayer member and white nationalist grifter Haley Adams is attempting to foment rape-apologist movement using the #HimToo hashtag. We thought it might be illuminating to contribute to it with details of domestic and sexual abuse by Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer members.
Court filings by one of Proud Boy Robert Zerfing’s former partners reveal him to be a domestic abuser who hit, pushed, and kicked her. Zerfing has long been a member of Patriot Prayer. Read more about #HimToo here rosecityantifa.org/articles/pb-1/… and here rosecityantifa.org/articles/csc/#…
Violent misogynist and ever-present Patriot Prayer videographer Matthew "Deme" Cooper was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy on a victim under age 13. Read more about #HimToo here rosecityantifa.org/articles/csc/#…

I didn't say I am currently an expat. I have expat in my profile because that is an interest of mine and a big part of my life's journey. One of many reasons I left USA is because this Feinstein nonsense has made USA unsafe.

(1) Dennis Ketterer, Julie Swetnick, & Democrat insanity. #Loco
As an ex-liberal woman born in 1970, I feel I can offer an informed perspective on the issues raised by Ketterer in his statement.
The issues are relevant to #MeToo #HimToo & everything.

(2) Ketterer writes as a man who carries immense guilt for having had secret extramarital sexual relations with Swetnick 25 years ago.
His statement is full of comments about it, but it's not the main issue. His status as a 9yo male child sex abuse survivor will be ignored.

(3) Today's Dems are ABSOLUTELY fixated on sexual crimes that are male on female.
To the exclusion of every other type of sex crime.
I know many men who have been sexually abused by a woman, or a man, in adulthood, or childhood. I know many male domestic abuse survivors.

According to #Democrats, ALL women are always to be believed, whether there's evidence to support their claim OR NOT.

(1) The Democrat-run city of Duluth, MN has many claims to fame but did you know it's famous for the Duluth Model, a feminism-based domestic abuse treatment program?

(2) Can I just say, when I went looking for a nice photo of Duluth I realized that the city has the ugliest bridge in the world.
OK, back on topic.
OK, back on topic.
(3) Programs based on the Duluth Model teach women that their abuse is due, in part, to "patriarchy"
For decades, the model has contributed to governments minimizing domestic abuse that isn't male on female.

(2) So things have been clear as mud for a few hours. I will attempt to explain what I think is happening. I am not worried about eventually winning this thing. Not at all.
(3) The FBI is merely updating the file. It is not investigating a crime, bc no one has provided a date, time, place, or ANY substantiating or corroborating evidence. We already know that Ford's 4 supposed witnesses deny her *claims*.
Please remember: A claim is just a claim.

1. While revelations about sexual misconduct and assault are grabbing entertainment and political headlines, #HigherEducation leaders should be asking themselves about their own institutions.
2. There are over 3000 4 year degree granting institutions in the country and 1700 2 year institutions enrolling roughly 20 million students. Title IV institutions employ 3.9 million individuals.
3. @AAUniversities' 2015 climate survey showed that 23.1% of female undergraduates experienced "nonconsensual sexual contact by physical force, threats of physical force, or incapacitation since they enrolled at their university."
