how does he put it all/everyone back together again? I don't believe he can. It is a dangerous thing to incite hatred, will we see a backlash?

Left wing identity politics had already divided the nation. Trump played the identity politics game as well and won. He showed he was better at it than the leftards.

So, what are you trying to say?

Trump is no better, no different than those 'leftists' before him?

Identity politics is fine, benign and valid so long as you identify with its proponent?

Or (if you're saying that identity politics is an evil) are you admitting that Trump's identitarian better-handing will further divide the US and the world?

And if, in your opinion, Identity politics is an evil and your admission that Trump was better at deploying this 'evil', doesn't that make him the greater of two evils?

Lefties created the environment for this to happen. They betrayed their principles when they abandoned universal principles for identity politics. I see the rise of European identity politics as a good thing in that it will hopefully help destroy the left.

So identity politics is fine, benign and valid so long as you identify with its proponent, then?

Does the end justify the means?

Except for history's warning against the use of political 'evils' to those who believe their leaders can control a mindless ideology for their own temporary ends.

All that matters is that Trump won. Full stop, end of story. Just as all that matters is that Turnbull won here.
