The Sore Winners: Will America's Super Minority Sink Us All?
by Tom Junod
Republicans, who once decried the rise of identity politics, now practice it so relentlessly, so ruthlessly, and above all so successfully that they've created a beleaguered minority where only a cosseted majority stood before.
