Abstract: The political landscape of the United States has undergone profound changes over the past decade, characterized by the rise of populist movements, increasing political polarization, the pervasive influence of social media, and the intensification of identity politics.These interconnected phenomena have reshaped public discourse, altered the dynamics of political engagement, and posed significant challenges to democratic governance (Bennett, 2012; Kreiss, 2019;Noury & Roland, 2020; Velasco, 2020).This research aims to explore these trends in detail, providing a comprehensive analysis of how they interact to shape contemporary American politics.The introduction sets the stage for this investigation, outlining the background and context of the study, defining key concepts, stating the research objectives, and highlighting the significance of the research.
