      Important, if obvious, point: Donald Trump is both a cause of—AND a reaction to—the tribalism, cultural decay, & anomie America is facing.

      Trump voters saw how the Left was winning the culture war by playing identity politics & victimhood card, and said: WE NEED TO DO THAT, TOO!

          This is why Trump voters are just as happy when he attacks the NFL or not saying “Merry Christmas” as they would be if he passed a bill.

          His raison d'être is to fight the Left’s culture war (using media, pop culture, reality TV means)—not to pass conservative legislation.

          It should be noted that I disagreed deeply and profoundly with this strategy. But that is beside the point.

          Primarily, I wanted a peacemaker who could unify the country and win the argument (& then win the vote). Trump is stoking the bitterness.

          But maybe I was just naive. Maybe the Left would have destroyed Rubio. Maybe the Trump people are just realists. We may never know.

          Fox News has been playing those cards for 20 years. They changed the party. Trump is the result.

          Do you just not believe there is such a thing as identity politics for white people or do you just ignore how Rs have campaigned for decades

          Yeah, that's why more minority voters voted for Trump than McCain or Romney!

          Yeah, Trump is the fault of liberal’s. Not the product of years of Limbaugh, Coulter, Levin, Hannity and the vile right wing entertainers.

          curious: why do the only ppl upset with culture wars/ID politics seem to be people who are not part of a group Donald Trump has offended?
