520 The purpose of this work is to analyze tropes such as the
“majority” and “identity politics” in contemporary
American political rhetoric in order to understand how the
political is figured in these tropes and how minoritized
subjects come to relate to the political in and through
these tropes. In this work, I place these tropes in a
historical context of ongoing sociopolitical dominance by
white, hetero-normative, and cis-normative ideologies with
a special attention to the turn-of-the-century eugenics
movement and its ideological and rhetorical underpinnings.
I engage in an extended analysis of these tropes with
significant historical and contemporary context and by
doing so, I open up a space to consider how these “common
sense” ways of thinking about politics and the political
reproduce and perpetuate harmful patterns of thought that
mark minoritized political subjects as contaminants of a
pure political commons
