(23,562 posts)This is about fascistic white (Christian, straight) male supremacy. Wealthy white male supremacy. Trump & Co. believe all white men except for the relatively few (in their eyes) Dems (insert slurs here) support what they're doing, even those they consider rubes because they're poor.
I thought about it and, while certainly white men have always had a presence in protests throughout the decades, most of the ones in recent memory have been led by women and POC.
I think it would actually be jarring to Trump to see mass protests of primarily white men. I'd like to see them joined by veterans, and the families of both military and LEO. But to have a showing of white men to step up like we've never seen before could shake up MAGA in general. Plus, if he does send in troops to arrest protesters, they'd be arresting their loved ones if the family idea is included.
Maybe that could be the start of some of the less cultist MAGA, the apathetic and other contingents to join us, and then the protests done in solidarity of everyone against fascism and the overt class war could happen more consistently and in earnest and carry more weight. And maybe, just maybe we could work toward that general strike that is effective in other countries.
