This was the mantra that was being chanted by the fascist white power loonies in Charlottesville. This mantra contains a host of issues that feed into MAGA and Project 2025. It was what Trump tapped into.
a. The intrinsic fear is that the black and brown populations are increasing and will soon become a majority.
b. The white population fertility is dropping and whites will soon become a minority.
For the poor whites this creates a paranoid fear. They think they are being displaced in their own country (I know – they stole it from the Native Americans but they believe it’s theirs).
There is a backlash about this displacement that has many implications. It was seized upon by Trump, MAGA, the fanatical Right-Wing Evangelicals and the shady billionaires who run the movement. It manifested itself in many ways in Project 2025:
- They want to stop all immigration – keep more brown people out and deport ones who are here. Hence the wall and mass deportation.
- They want to increase white fertility levels. Hence the laws on abortion, contraception and sex ed.
- They want to suppress female education – educated women have less children.
- They want to suppress women going into careers. Career women have less children. Hence, women should stay at home, look after the house, pop out babies and support their man. The more extreme are even suggesting that women shouldn’t have the vote.
The attitudes towards women’s rights, dumbing down and defunding of education, and immigration policies stream directly out of the paranoia of white, working Americans. They are afraid to become a minority. They are terrified of the increasing black and brown populations. Trump, MAGA and the Fascist white supremacists directly address their fears. They are deeply afraid of being replaced!
