Thomas Zimmer notes that after the shooting of National Guard members in D.C., Trump said that he would shut the doors of America to anyone "non-compatible with Western civilization." He then attacked Somali immigrantss and Ilhan Omar, calling them "garbage." Kristi Noem's followed by calling immigranta "foreign invaders." Stephen Miller attacked birthright ciitzenship. Then there's the new NSS document.

Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals
The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalistSteady

in reply to William Lindsey • • •The NSS document tries to bully Europe into adopting MAGA notions of white supremacy and Christian nationalism as guiding principles. Zimmer says,
"These aren’t just a few racist outbursts or isolated escalations. These are not separate policy initiatives. These are manifestations of a worldview defined by white nationalism as its organizing principle."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"They are tied to a much broader rightwing attempt to reconceptualize national identity and drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong. They are actualizations of the Right’s defining project: To roll back any progress towards egalitarian pluralism, to vanquish the very idea that America should aspire to be a nation defined by equal citizenship in a pluralistic, multiracial society," (continued in /4)

"and to fight instead for white Christian male supremacy at home and in the world. ...
That is true for Donald Trump himself also. He is not just a grumpy old man indulging in racist stereotypes, but a politician committed to a worldview shaped and organized by racism and white supremacy. What is on display here is not just personal bigotry."

The Trumpists desire to drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong, they seek to purge all others from the 'homeland.' Those who are left would be living in a society that is not only unequal but has ostracized egalitarian aspirations as heresy."

A segregationist policy would restore white male dominance in elite institutions as well as across all spheres of American life."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"The MAGA claim that white Christians in the United States and Europe are engaged in an existential fight to protect their superior race from being overwhelmed by inferior racial stocks has roots in the U.S. that reach all the way back to the fears of white southerners in the 1850s" (continued in /7)

A majority of white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (62%) and white Catholics (59%) also approve of Trump’s job on immigration."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"I think, for me, the biggest takeaway from the [PRRI] survey is that the Trump administration's second term immigration agenda is mobilizing his base, particularly white evangelical Protestants and Christian nationalists, but it's really alienating a lot of other Americans across the board."
