Trump, fascism, and race/class marketing
Germany and Italy were late to nationalism (and colonialism) and so went hardcore when the resources presented themselves.
Trumpers are the Italy and Germany of the US. It’s an image (or self-image) thing.
France and England have made a ton with colonial expansion. Now it’s our turn—and we are going to outdo what they did in an even shorter period of time.
It’s the revenge of the left-out.
Trumpers. What excites them so much that they are willing suffer and take a pay cut and drink the anal leakage of the elite? It is also identity, relational identity, visible group-based differences in income, or even treatment—“identity politics.”
Those niggers get special deference. Affirmative action, welfare moms, handouts, and now even talk about reparations. But what about us poor white people? What about us?
Poor white people. The important thing. Poor and white are combined in the Trumper class—true. The genius of the Republican marketing department is to take these separate things and (1) make them look connected, and (2) make the white look more important then poor.
