My fear is that these politics will lead to the sorts of issues we see in other places where there are large demographics but no one is a majority. Think about the politics of India and how disastrous that would be for us as a country.
One way forward would be to disengage in divide and conquer politics and engage instead in actually addressing pressing issues. Poverty, violence, injustice, without tingeing it with race or class but rather as societal problems that we as a whole society must address rather than it's a [some group's] problem.
For example the unequal gender pay issue is not best addressed as a problem caused by males but rather as a social problem which must be addressed by all to get to a place on average where all get equivalent pay. That is addition rather than subtraction.
Its a nice thought but the problem is that divide and conquer works. Political parties are not going to give up there biggest tool in the quest for power and influence.
I agree that it will be disastrous for the united states but I see no will to change course in politics or social trends. In fact it seems the mainstream media is desperate to instigate some large scale social conflicts in the uS.
