Arnie and Jon discuss JD Vance’s white supremacist screed at last week’s Turning Point USA conference “AmericaFest.” Along with remarks defending racist speech, Vance proclaimed that “in the United States of America you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.” As others have observed, this language invokes white supremacist talking points from the past century – including leading southern Klansmen. Vance’s comments came after the Department of Justice eliminated disparate impact liability from its civil rights enforcement and the EEOC urged white men to file discrimination complaints when they feel victimized by DEI. It’s increasingly hard to deny that for Trump's MAGA agenda, segregation is the goal. Beyond putting everyone in their “place,” the Trump regime wants to normalize all of the hate-filled and empirically bankrupt racial and gender tropes that rationalized pre-civil rights America.
