I voted for Trump, but I definitely think Trump set up an "us vs. them" situation, particularly with regard to Hispanics, and I'd say that is pretty close to identity politics.
And before you make the argument that it was just with regard to illegal immigration, consider his comments about the judge. Regardless, just because there is a non-identity factor doesn't mean he's not trying to gain an advantage by using identity politics, which he very likely was.

Yeah you voted for TRUMP, after being one of the biggest NeverTrump Cucks on the board.
TRUMP hasn't set up an "us vs. them" situation. That was set up by eight years of Obama.

Trump didn't create white identity politics and white identity politics isn't going away with Trump. White people are going to be the minority in most of the country in our lifetimes. That is the reality. And when whites are the minority, they are going to vote and organize like a minority group.

I'm not trying to piggy back off your discussion with the dude that's clearly having a bad day. I just thought I'd add that trump still got 30% of the Latino vote in the general which is utterly insane considering some of the talk he used. I only wanted to bring this up considering the comment you made above, I don't think it's had that much of an impact on Hispanics as you think.
(W got 40%
Reagan 35%
Those are the highest for a GOP candidate.)
