- Title
After Trump: Enemies, Partisans, and Recovery.
- Abstract
The article discusses partisanship in U.S. politics and culture following the administration of U.S. president Donald Trump. The author argues that the hyperpartisan and polarizing U.S. political culture can be traced to the mid-1990s and the rise of U.S. politician and U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich's political tactics, the similarity of zero-sum situations that characterized the Cold War and international relations, and what is referred to as the enemy image. The article also discusses various misperceptions concerning political motivation and power, fringe elements of opposing parties and sector, and manipulation by political leaders. The article also discusses the concept of whataboutism, and potential reconciliation.
