‘As the sun sets on the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidential term, the mechanisms of American democracy are being drastically reassembled into a vehicle for the whims of the president and his racist, authoritarian agenda. Most worrisome has been the elevation of bona fide extremists into positions of power and the implantation of white nationalist ideas into formal policy. In rhetoric and deed, the Trump administration has made alarming strides in pursuing white nationalist policies that have thrilled the far right worldwide. From the mass pardoning of the January 6, 2021, Capitol rioters, many of whom had ties to white supremacist and militia groups and white Christian nationalism, to the appointment of far-right ideologues to some of the most important positions in the country, Trump is embedding those with anti-democratic ideals into every part of the government.
These include many who have expressed antisemitism, racism or are Christian nationalists, or promoted “remigration,” a white supremacist policy of ethnic cleansing. Policies that only found support in fringe white nationalist circles are now the law of the land. Perhaps the most clearly racist policy has been a punishing wave of militarized enforcement against the “invasion” of immigrants, rhetoric once confined to hate circles, as right-wing politicians increasingly embrace the bigoted and xenophobic narratives about immigrants long popular among the extreme far right. Worse, Trump is entrenching these policies into American governance in ways that the administration hopes will survive long past his time in office.
Trump has also changed American culture for the worse. Offensive and dehumanizing language that once operated only in the fringes have become commonplace among mainstream political conversation and policy, destroying the boundaries of what is acceptable in American discourse. Here we examine how Trump has implanted white nationalism into American governance, through his appointments of racists, antisemites, and Christian nationalists, his militarized immigration policies, his war on diversity, Black history, women, and the LGBTQ+ community while reviving the Confederacy, and his empowering of far-right actors here and abroad.’

“Trump has also changed American culture for the worse.”
Actually, Trump represents American culture that changed for the worse long ago – the racism, bigotry, and hate embraced and facilitated by the GOP for decades, the fear, ignorance and anti-immigrant nativism conservatives have long endorsed and promoted.
Trump is the product of the GOP and conservative movement, poisoning America with the toxic waste of Republican authoritarianism and hateful conservative dogma.

Trump’s Year Of Making White Nationalism Great Again
In the first year of Donald Trump’s second term, ideas once confined to white nationalist fringes have been folded directly into U.S. governance. Through extremist appointments, the implementation of Project 2025, militarized immigration policies rooted in “remigration” rhetoric, and an...
