You say, "Mounk’s version of events essentially ignores the actions of conservative political and media elites that have transformed the vastly overlapping categories of “white, Christian, rural-dwelling, conservative” into a dominant and readily activated monolithic social and cultural identity."

If whiteness is so important to conservatives, why are Republicans taking voters of color away from Democrats?

I should add I'm not a conservative. I'm asking as a socialist critic of neoliberal identitarianism.
