An Analysis Of The Status Quo Of American Identity Politics In The Trump Era

Since the 1970 s,the concept of "identity" has been endowed with political meaning,and has gradually evolved into the form of "identity politics".It was used to refer to the marginalized groups against the social mainstream in terms of the inequality,and injustice of the identity.The pursuit of identity became the beginning of the American identity political movement,which profoundly changed the American society,promoted the development of the American political movement,and had a far-reaching impact on the American Society.It makes the United States pay attention to the interests of the marginalized groups,and thus safeguard the basic rights of the marginalized groups.At present,the liberation essence of identity politics has gradually alienated from the general direction of resisting social inequality,and finally headed for the road of tearing American society apart.In the 2016 election,Donald Trump epitomized this tendency,taking advantage of the social antipathy by the over emphasis on identity politics and depressed economic environment and targeting white working class.The use of political calls divided the different levels of identity,which in turn has bred antagonism in American society.In fact,it is of great practical significance to explore the theoretical origin of identity politics and compare the origin of the movement and the predicament of its development.By expounding the reasons for the present dilemma of identity politics in the United States and exploring its possible impact in the future,we can analyze the development of identity politics in the future.From the means of consensus-building to the tool of social division,in fact,identity politics caused the disregard of public issues and restrictions on the public interest.Therefore,the revolution of identity politics plays a directive role in the political position and may lead to potential political conflicts.
