Trump and Comp (TM), Chistofascism, and Dominant Identity Politics

Most but not all of my friends are being terrorised by the values and practices of January 2017 Immigration policies and Cabinet member approval. Public protest is reinvigorated in the U.S. due especially to police violence and murder of unarmed Black and Indigenous citizens. Tragically, whites view Blackness and darker skin as a dangerous weapon. The chess match Trump and Comp is playing is operating in 3D.

Those dimensions are:
Oligarchic and autocratic rule.
Patriarchal Christian rule.
White straight male supremacist rule.

Upon that tripod of tyranny we see playing out before and against us a more naked display of what we have seen over the last many decades, centuries, and millennia. The the power of wealth, the on-going consolidation of power among men, and the power of Christofascist heterosexual colonialism and dominance. A weapon in one hand, a NT Bible in another, and the missionary position’s physical and spiritual subordination of women.

Trump and Comp (TM). has been empowered by electoral success in an election steeped in misogyny, racism, and the cultural dominance of white Christianity and Oligarchy.

What does that mean? It means whether with full intention or primarily by effect, he is working a few steps ahead corporate media’s grasp of what is going down. Or, such media is in bed with Trump and Comp, making for a disturbing and messy coalition–rumors of his exploitation of Russian prostitutes by demanding water sports not withstanding.

What I am worried about is Trump and Comp (TM)’s success in tossing out hand grenades of over-the-top violations of the US Constitution while shoving into government institutions their long-term objectives.

Centering the appeal and influence of Mike Pence and Steve Bannon through less protested actions.

As a whole, the tyrannical and genocidal Western world is imperiled far more by Right-wing fascism and WHM supremacy than by Central Asian opposition to the West’s warmongering and mass murder. What is also exposed is how ‘white’, ‘heterosexual’ and ‘man’ are identities at least as much as ‘Black’, ‘LGBT’, and ‘woman’. WHM disdain for “identity politics” pretends that theirs are not the political identities most promoted and protected.
