PETER THIEL: "The last time identity politics worked for real was the 2008 election with Obama. It worked because we were still in a pre-internet world. This meant you could tell one message to one group of people and a different message to a different group. For Black voters, Obama could say he was a Black person, and to White voters, Obama could say he was post-racial. By the time you get to 2016, it doesn't actually work anymore. This micro-targeting political strategy from the 90s was way past its sell-by date by 2016." https://blossom.primal.net/74214a7efa2518cc6175953a134625cad9dd89efe85ae24dea797fef2144655b.mp4
