“The #antidemocratic #radicalization of the Right has not been fueled by a sense of strength, but by a pervasive sense of weakness. They are feeling their backs against the wall. And they are reacting to something real: Our “Western” societies have indeed become more pluralistic, less white, less overwhelmingly Christian. In that sense, it was not the perfectly stable #liberaldemocracy that suddenly fell into crisis (because such an order had never existed), but white #Christian #patriarchal #dominance – what the Right likes to call the “natural order” – that has been coming under pressure.”

“Crack-Up #Capitalism”: #Historian #QuinnSlobodian on #Trump, #Musk & the Movement to “Shatter” the State
#DemocracyNow, February 20, 2025
"Who are the minds behind #DOGE, and what do they really believe? Historian Quinn Slobodian says three strains of #conservatism have converged to form the second Trump administration’s #AntiDemocratic coalition: finance-backed #CorporateInterests previously friendly to the #DemocraticParty, #ChristianConservative think tanks who have long advocated for the end of the administrative state, and the online-driven movement of reactionary extremists who traffic in #WhiteSupremacist and #NeoNazi rhetoric. Meanwhile, says Slobodian, 'Trump is a person who doesn’t believe in much, but he believes in #money,' leaving him willing to enact the political visions of these three #ProCapitalist projects. Slobodian, an expert in German history, also discusses the connections between the Trump sphere and Germany’s far-right Alternative for #Germany (#AfD) party, supported by Musk and Vice President #JDVance.'"

Another tough quote from #ShoshanaZuboff in her 2022 paper (this time from the conclusion):
"Deprived of algorithmic oxygen, digital violence slithers back into the shadows at the fringe."
And with it, the trolls who get elected off the back of that polarization.

Spoiler alert: she calls for the banning of the #datarape that enables surveillance capitalism.

We’re both #lifelong #Republicans. But my brother, we must #reject #Trump this #election
Trump is actively #antidemocratic and appears to be a #fascist, as his own #chiefofstaff, Gen. #JohnFKelly, and his #chairman of the #JointChiefsofStaff, Gen. #MarkAMilley, have both said.

#America is facing a #threat of #biblical #proportions: The #rise of #ChristianNationalism (#Fascism)
That level of certainty in #Trump’s #divinity can justify a lot of extreme #antidemocratic — and even #violent — #behavior.
