"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."

"The coercive powers of the state would be mobilized to curtail the rights of those who dare to deviate and entrench a tiered system of participation defined by hierarchies of race, gender, religion, wealth, and ancestry. A segregationist policy would restore white male dominance in elite institutions as well as across all spheres of American life."

"Donald Trump pursues a political project for which white nationalism serves as an organizing principle. ...

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."

"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."

"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)

"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."

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.
