A term used to demean compassion and decency.

Anyone who uses it non-ironically, sets themselves apart as a flaming bigot.

Lee Atwater's "God Guns and Gays" was the foundation on which the rebirth of the Republican Party relied after Nixon.

They had a coordinated effort to convince anyone who identified as a Christian, is a gun owner, or were scared/suspicious of gays (easy pickins back then and really only until about 5 years ago) that they should vote Republican. It was a brilliant move to get a large portion of the public in their back pocket. The largest benefit was they could just pay them lip service from time to time and these people would never really have to be campaigned towards. Very effective on the gun crowd. Very effective on evangelicals but over all with the church crowd not all that great of results. The gay thing was a demand of one of the big funders (outside of the monsterously large Four Sisters) namely Rev. Moon. He demanded it. He also propped up a ready for TV evangelical white southern male who CNN was more than happy to have on the air, Jerry Falwell.

This new trend with Republicans decrying "identity politics" is both projection and an admission that they are losing the culture war badly.

It describes a style of politics in which members of disadvantaged groups band together to support their mutual interests. Of course the dominant group does not like it. But we should be clear that this is exactly what we are doing.
