Doing the Right Wing Math

 SIXTY PERCENT of the American people are "white", thirteen percent black, a somewhat higher percentage are brown, and the rest are red and yellow, take your pick, name your color.The percentage of whites is declining, has been for decades, and will continue to do so, as white becomes one of many minorities, a plurality in an ethnically diverse culture.This is the essential problem for America's far right, their source of anger and discontent, their agony.Ten percent of white Americans are far right extremists, and around thirty percent more are garden variety conservatives, which means in sympathy with the far right. The big picture conservative community, primarily white but all colors included, is closely associated with fundamentalist evangelical Christianity, gun rights, anti-abortion rights, and anti-socialism, all of which put them at odds with a majority of the American people, who are more progressive and more secular.White supremacist racists are deeply embedded within the law enforcement and military professions, professions which have always been attractive to conservative  white racist patriotic types.Fully twenty percent of the participants in the Capitol insurrection were either active or former military, or active or former police. That says much not only about white supremacism and where to find it, but also support for Trump, and where to find it. The numbers all add up, and fall neatly into place, and for a clear pattern. Forty percent of Americans support(ed) Trump, throughout his presidency, and beyond, seventy percent of Republicans still, after several months, insist that the election was stolen, and perhaps one third of them still think the insurrection was justified, and wish it had succeeded. More alarming material for consideration. In broad but accurately descriptive terms, racism, xenophobia, white nationalism, christian white nationalism, hatred of cooperative economics, religious zealotry, are all fundamental, pervasive components of contemporary American economic, political, and social conservatism. Right wing extremism so permeates American conservative society that Donald Trump was not only elected president, but was broadly supported in his failed attempt to stage a coup and usurp the democratic political system to remain president. In modern America, mainstream conservatism is scarcely distinguishable from right wing christian white nationalism, from far right extremism. It is a movement perfectly to use illegal means and violent means to achieve its goals, which is the installation of a Christian ultra conservative theocracy in American government. the Republican party is among the most dangerous organizations in human as well as American history, and mainstream conservatism is the second greatest threat to American national security, behind climate change. For our national survival, both must be eliminated.
