America’s Problem is That White People Want It to Be a Failed State
Nov. 1, 2020 Article Excerpt:
"Here are some things white Americans have been for, as a group, in their majority. Segregation. Endless war. Inequality. Billionaires. Capital. Guns and religion as primary social values. That is what the voting pattern above means. Conversely, here are some thing white Americans have been against, as a group, in their majority. Desegregation. Civil rights. Womens’ rights. Their own healthcare, retirement, and childcare. Public goods of any kind whatsoever. That is what the “voting pattern” above means in the real world. Need I go on? America’s problem is that white Americans as a social group, its majority social group, want America to be a failed state. They don’t want to live in a modern, civilised democracy, and never have."
According to Umair Haque/the author's figures, on average, 6 out 10 of the white electorate want America to be a fascist, white supremacist, sexist, dystopia. Trump's divisive pro-white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti-semetic, pro-police brutality, racist, violent rhetoric and actions led most of the electorate to reject him at the polls in 2020. The remaining persons, who voted for Trump, either overlooked the unscrupulous, right-wing authoritarian that he was, or shared his mindset. The latter persons didn't expect Biden would win decisively. The unscrupulous and violent actions of Trump and his "Stop the Steal" disinformation co-conspirators were unexpected too - culminating with a concerted effort by certain Republican legislators and a deadly insurrection mob seeking to overturn the legitimate 2020 election results in the US Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Discuss: Right-wing rhetoric, attacks on democracy, harm and threats in the Trump and post-Trump era. Are your views for the Biden era future bleak or optomistic? Do you expect more partisan Senate deadlock?
Do you expect more right-wing supremacist extremism?
