Trumps election based on it, it's why he won.Trump's election was said to have ended identity politics for some reason, and yet it's being played harder than ever before now.

The movement during the 60-70's has very little to what is happening right now, actually it has nothing to do the push back but lets just ignore that huh?
Do you even understand where the push back is coming from and against? The new leftist movement is based on identity politics.The movement of the 60s and 70s has everything

That's certainly coherent. No I just don't have my head up my arse, blind to what's starting to brew.This simply makes no sense whatever.
I can only assume that with this and most of the rest of your incoherent posts, you are simply forgetting halfway through what you were going to say, and then just stopping.
It's always interesting to find out what people actually mean when they speak of "the left", and I suspect in this poster's case it will be anyone to the left of Pauline Hanson, and the backlash will not be a right wing figure emerging, that's happened already with Trump, and we can all see that's going to turn out. Rather, as seen with Corbyn in the UK, Macron in France, and if the polls are correct, here we will see the emergence of left, and centre left governments as the backlash against the neo liberalism continues to emerge.This simply makes no sense whatever.

That's so clever and insightful, anyone one that doesn't agree with me must be hateful like Pauline Hanson, because I'm so noble and good hearted, stupid comments show me how far off you are to understanding the current climate. Please define what you think the new left stands for? So you support the acts of BLK, Berkeley and Evergreen these are becoming the new standard for rational leftist.It's always interesting to find out what people actually mean when they speak of "the left", and I suspect in this poster's case it will be anyone to the left of Pauline Hanson, and the backlash will not be a right wing figure emerging, that's happened already with Trump, and we can all see that's going to turn out.

as seen with Corbyn in the UK
Corbyn won the election did he?
Turned a predicted bloodbath into a hung Parliament.
Labour came out of the election much better than the Conservatives and Lib Dems.
I thought they finally got the polls right?
May is still PM, so I think they came out better.
Trump lost the popular vote by nearly a couple of million votes. People sometimes forget that.
Trump won because he unexpectedly picked up rust belt states like Michigan that traditionally went blue, and the way the electoral college works favoured him. The demographics of his voters suggested the promise of jobs and opportunities and distaste for career politicians like HRC were what caused them to vote Republican, not Muslim bans or walls or tax cuts for the rich. His current disapproval ratings should be no surprise.
The west is definitely swinging back left, it's part of the cycle but it's happening relatively quickly. You might see Trump become a one-termer, Corbyn poised to pounce, and Shorten sweep to a landslide victory.
Sure, whatever.
Does anyone actually like Shorten, or is it the dislike of Turnbull that causes this. I don't get how anyone could want Shorten in.Trump lost the popular vote by nearly a couple of million votes. People sometimes forget that.

That's what I was inferring. Never met anyone that likes Shorten, just that they dislike Turnbull. Bring back Johnny, there was a guy.
But what of the Right's hypocrisy?
The contemporary Right is a hysterical, hypocritical beast. It supports an economic ideal that more or less assures the destruction of the social values it commends.
Yes but in most western democracies they really are two parties of the right.you'd be pretty hard-pressed to identify any government that hasn't been violent. indeed, the monopoly on violence is part of what defines a state. centre left governments in liberal democracies have been no more or less violent than their centre right buddies.
Where's your evidence that conservative policy has done more to undermine the family unit?
If you look to the USA it could be argued that the welfare system has done more to destroy the black American family than any other policy.
There is actually an incentive to be a single mother, and the more dependents you have the more money you receive. Nearly 70% of black families are single parent families. Having children out of wedlock has gone from 24% in the 60's to 73% currently for black families.
Then you can look at the crime rates and academic performance of people who grew up in the single parent households as compared to those who grew up with married biological parents - it's quite shocking.
The new leftist movement is based on identity politics.
Left-wing politics supports social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality. It typically involves a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others (prioritarianism), as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished (by advocating for social justice).
Right-wing politics hold that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics or tradition.[4](p693, 721). Hierarchy and inequality may be viewed as natural results of traditional social differences or the competition in market economies.
