Politica, religione e identità nelle elezioni presidenziali americane del 2024

The 2024 U.S. presidential election highlighted the historic influence of religion in American politics, but it also reflected a shift from viewing religion as a demand for freedom to perceiving it as a conflict between identities. Donald Trump’s victory, driven by economic discontent, was partially shaped by religious dynamics, reflecting a growing divide between secularist and religious-traditionalist America. Conservative evangelical factions, alarmed by identity politics, reignited the politicization of religion, with Trump’s messianic rhetoric resonating among religious voters. His support from Catholic and Muslim groups stemmed from concerns over Kamala Harris’s progressive policies on gender and diversity. However, this alliance remains fragile, as disputes over issues like Gaza and immigration raise questions about its long-term stability.
