Come on. Your comment is actually a fairly good example of a kind of bad faith political tactic that I see quite a bit of nowadays: presenting other-side disagreement as fake or manufactured, often as the bailey of a fallacious motte-and-bailey argument.

All of those things you list are actual points of political/ideological disagreement, and all political movements, left and right, typically feature "elite" efforts to surface and popularize issues like that. Doing that is pretty much the literal job description of activists, activist organizations, and opinion columnists.
