No.  
It needs an 'as' before the 'a conspiracy' 1st the end.

As a non-native speaker I have a serious question. Is this sentence: "What liberals might have seen as language changing to reflect an increasingly diverse society – in which citizens attempt to avoid giving needless offence to one another – Trump saw a conspiracy" correct English?

If I read one fucking more thinkpiece, blog post, semi-literate tweet, or facebook forward blaming whatever the fuck “identity politics” is for Democrats losing the election I am going to lose completely and totally lose my shit and climb a fucking bell tower. I don’t even know what people mean when they say identity politics anymore. So let me ask you:Is it identity politics when you cater to white supremacists, the Klan, and neo-nazis to win an election?Is it identity politics when you say white lives matter or blue lives matter?Is it identity politics when you cheer building a wall to keep out rapey Mexicans?[...]***No. Of course not. What you mean when you say “identity politics” is you mean all those groups you want to systematically oppress try to stand up and defend themselves and it hurts your feelings because you can’t have your way. In politics, it’s called COALITION BUILDING.
