Primary
The film's central focus on global unity and collective human survival against an external, existential alien threat results in a neutral political stance, as it avoids explicitly promoting specific left or right ideologies.

The narrative maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities, without explicitly centering or critiquing DEI themes.
Secondary
Independence Day: Resurgence does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely centered on the global defense against an alien invasion, with no queer representation present in the story.

There are no instances of female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
