I'm now looking at identity politics more like sensless whining by a group(s) of people that doesn't even want to lead -- they just want to bitch.

There are a lot of theories behind it.
1) They're whiny and entitled, just want attention or to be special.
2) They're on a power trip and use their identity as a cudgel to control others.
3) Certain far left factions are using race/sexuality as a stand in for class, as the lower class of the US has been conditioned to not hate the upper class. Race is a far more explosive and effective topic to push far left oppressed/oppressor narratives.
Identity Politics divides the country, breaking everyone into small groups. There's certainly room for groups who advocate on behalf of identities, but above all, the one identity that truly unites us is "American".
That national identity needs to be present in a multi-racial, multi-cultural society or else it falls apart.
We need to agree that we're all Americans, first and foremost. White people are more likely to help black people when they see them as "American" and not just "Black".
