Summoning the Demons

Writing at The American Conservative, Rod Dreher takes as his topic "The Curse of Identity Politics." He does a good job with it too.
You cannot have an identity politics of the Left without calling up the same thing on the Right. Left-liberals who want conservatives to stigmatize and denounce white nationalism, but conservatives who do so will be sneered at by white nationalists as dupes and fools who advocate disarmament in the face of racist, sexist forces of the Left.
He follows this by listing eight separate things the Left does or condones that, in his words, "summon the demons of white nationalism." I didn't see much with which to disagree, perhaps you won't either.
