The left have been accused of and criticized for playing 'identity politics'. Question: What identity are they promoting, why is it bad, and why is it okay for Trump to play identity politics with his base?

Beautifully stated!america used to be a melting pot where people were american first, and everything else second. Identiy politics would be the opposite. Everything must be defined through the lens of race and other identifiers. There is the fuss over cultural appropriation where two white ladies can't open a taco shop. It's segmenting culture and people all into their own little boxes. It's ultimately divisive.
"Identity politics" is another fake, made up buzzword that didn't exist eight years ago, much like the fake "virtue signaling" buzzword.
They were invented by some blogger, and are evidently parroted by unoriginal teabaggers and neocons.
I'm pretty sure that the "identity politics" buzzword is a manifestation of Republican resentment that the Democratic party generally appeals to people of all colors. While the GOP largely caters to white people.

But when a black person takes on white culture, they are not questioned or insulted.
Basically, whites in America are not allowed to have their own culture.
ID politics is innately divisive in that the "us" is established by shunning the "them"
I haven't heard Trump use it. MAGA is inclusive. Compare that to HRClintons call for sisterhood
to the point being a woman and not supporting her was a grievous wrong in her eyes
