20 school shootings? That's a flat out lie. Conservatives don't care about identity politics because they don't pander to groups based on race, sex or sexuality like the left does in the states does.

Literally the entire point of a party system is to pander to identity politics. It's the entire foundation of  the system ... which do you identify with. Besides, just go on any Fox news broadcast and you'll hear at least : 3 digs at CNN's ratings, 6 roundabout jokes about feminism, and 2 different ways of making white people feel like victims. If that isn't subtle identity politics than I don't know what is.

I hear this 20 number a lot. Same as in early 2017 and 2016, lots of misinformation going about after every big school shooting. Anyway, have you thought that raising your kids NOT to shoot up schools and get to the route of the problem that way might be a better idea than using it as a flag to shame others talking about "lesser issues".

What? This doesn't even make sense. Everyone knows not to shoot up schools. You don't have to be specifically raised to believe so. Is this just sarcasm to make a point?

No, it's not. Each party is ideologically different. A party can focus identity politics if they want. Dems are because they want votes. The republican party and libertarian party don't care about identity politics.
