Translating the state of American politics into the terms of the framework: since Trump took over the Republican Party, the game of politics on the right has been in the friend-enemy mode.
Meanwhile Democrats have continued to do politics mostly in the pluralist mode, with some technocratic pockets

![A table with three headings at the top which read: Friend-Enemy Politics, Pluralist Politics, and Technocratic Politics. The first row is titled "social ontology of politics (what is the political world made of?), the second is titled "task of politics (what do we think we're doing in politics?), the third is titled "goal of politics (what does politics generate?):"
The social ontology of politics in friend-enemy politics is a "world made up of friends and enemies. No neutrality or fairness. Identity overriding," in pluralist politics it is a "world made up of innumerable groups who must find ways to live together. Identity is central," in technocratic politics, the "world [is] composed of individuals who experience common problems. No groups, no identity."
The task of politics in the friend-enemy mode is "for the virtuous 'Us' to defeat the evil 'Them,'" in pluralist politics it is "conciliation of different groups and their competing interests," in technocratic politics it is "solving social problems."
The goal of politics in friend-enemy politics is "public tokens of 'our' domination or of enemy's defeat;" in pluralist politics it is "fair compromise;" in technocratic politics it is "effective policy."
A red arrow points to the column titled "friend-enemy politics" with text above it reading "Politics as practiced by the Republican Party in the age of Trump."
A blue arrow points to the column titled "pluralist politics" with text above it reading "Politics as practiced by the Democratic Party."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2c4hmyxdfk4aky3jeoulhog5/bafkreibtasvtpfmmnyqv7wx7sssuivkxhr2o7tsyptnathn66h7ks337xq@jpeg)
