Not necessarily who, but what. Intersectionality. The belief that issues must be resolved on the basis of which party is more aggrieved / marginalized (aka "wokeness").

Like the good liberal I was, I’d raised my daughter in all of the progressive public schools in Los Angeles. We were children of the “Me Generation” spat out godless and empty. We gravitated to self-help and therapy culture. Thus began our epic journey toward self-improvement. Our perfect selves would build a perfect world and raise perfect children.
Critical Race Theory began creeping into our public schools and universities to fix the problem that this country, its culture, its institutions, and its corporations were infested with racism and “white supremacy.”
But it was the young coming of age online who turned our good intentions into a strident new fundamentalism that would become a big problem for the Democrats. You were categorized and measured by your skin color and your gender. The more vulnerable and marginalized you were, the higher your status online.
It wasn’t until 2020, during lockdowns, that most parents became aware of the madness they were teaching our children in public schools. But it was too late by then. The fanatics took to the streets in the Summer, using Black Lives Matter to push their cult-like fanaticism on the rest of us. Evergreen was now our new normal.
