Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ ends US democracy. What happens next?

DEMOCRACY DIED IN DARKNESS

          The modern political landscape of the United States has been disfigured by a resurgence of authoritarianism, racial division, and the deliberate corrosion of democratic norms. At the heart of this degeneration stands Donald Trump, surrounded by a cadre of loyalists who not only enable but promote ideologies of hate and exclusion. It is not merely a matter of partisan disagreement; it is a struggle over the soul of a nation. The argument that Trump and his gangsters are white supremacists, racists, and fascists is not rhetorical hyperbole—it is a conclusion grounded in their policies, rhetoric, actions, and historical patterns.

White Supremacy in Policy and Practice

           A consistent pattern of white supremacist alignment marks Donald Trump’s political career. Long before he entered the White House, he was already notorious for his racist behavior. In the 1970s, the Trump Organization was sued by the federal government for discriminating against Black tenants. In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in New York City newspapers demanding the death penalty for the Central Park Five, five Black and Latino teenagers who were later exonerated.

          As president, Trump surrounded himself with advisors and officials who promoted white nationalist talking points. Stephen Miller, one of his closest aides, authored draconian immigration policies like family separations at the border and the Muslim ban policies designed to reinforce a “fortress America” ruled by white, Christian identity. Trump’s repeated defense of Confederate statues, his refusal to condemn white supremacists in Charlottesville, and his infamous “wonderful people on both sides” remark cannot be brushed aside. These are not political missteps; they are dog whistles to a base animated by racial grievance.

          The administration’s crackdown on diversity training and its attempt to portray anti-racist education as “un-American” reflect a more profound, ideological hostility toward any reckoning with systemic racism. In essence, Trumpism advances the idea that whiteness is under attack and must be protected—this is the foundational belief of white supremacy.

Racism as Strategy

          Trump’s rise to power was fueled by explicit and implicit racism. His 2016 campaign began with a slander against Mexicans, labeling them “rapists” and criminals. He advocated for a total ban on Muslims entering the United States. These messages were not slips of the tongue; they were deliberate political strategies designed to stoke fear among white voters and cast non-white populations as threats to national identity.

          Racism under Trump is not just personal; it is institutional. He referred to majority, Black nations as “shithole countries,” questioned the intelligence of Black reporters, and consistently attacked prominent Black public figures, including athletes and lawmakers. His policies disproportionately harmed communities of color, from stripping environmental protections in low-income neighborhoods to neglecting hurricane victims in Puerto Rico while lavishing aid on wealthier, whiter regions.

          Moreover, Trump encouraged the rise of anti-immigrant vigilante groups, downplayed hate crimes against minorities, and expressed sympathy for violent right-wing extremists. His administration ignored the threat of white nationalist terrorism, even as federal agencies internally flagged it as the most pressing domestic security concern.

Fascism: The Trump Doctrine

          To call Trump a fascist is not to misuse a historical term; it is to recognize the structure and purpose of his political movement. Fascism, in its classic form, relies on authoritarianism, propaganda, cult of personality, scapegoating of minorities, disdain for democratic institutions, and the mobilization of paramilitary violence. Trump checked every one of these boxes.

          He repeatedly undermined the judiciary, the press, and the electoral process. He called the media “the enemy of the people,” a phrase lifted directly from totalitarian regimes. He praised dictators like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Jair Bolsonaro, while disparaging America’s traditional democratic allies. His administration stonewalled congressional oversight, weaponized the Department of Justice to attack political enemies, and attempted to extort a foreign government to smear a political opponent.

          The culmination of his fascist tendencies came on January 6, 2021, when he incited a violent insurrection to overturn a lawful election. That attack on the U.S. Capitol was not spontaneous. It resulted from months of lies, conspiracies, and incitement. He summoned his followers, many bearing neo-Nazi and Confederate symbols, and told them to “fight like hell.” The resulting chaos was a fascist coup attempt, and his refusal to accept the peaceful transfer of power remains a dark mark on American history.

The Gangsters Around Him

.                    

           Trump’s inner circle and loyal foot soldiers include figures who openly espouse racist ideologies and seek to dismantle democratic guardrails. Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Rudy Giuliani represent facets of a broader authoritarian enterprise. Bannon has openly stated his desire to “destroy the administrative state.” Flynn has called for martial law to overturn elections. These are not idle ramblings but strategic blueprints for authoritarian rule.

          Many of Trump’s supporters and appointees have ties to white nationalist groups. His administration emboldened militias like the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and other violent extremists, many of whom now face charges for their role in the Capitol insurrection. Trump’s embrace of these groups and refusal to condemn their actions reflects the symbiosis between his political project and fascist, racist ideologies.

 The Stakes of Silence

          To call Trump and his gangsters white supremacists, racists, and fascists is not an exaggeration; it is an indictment based on overwhelming evidence. Pretending otherwise is a dangerous act of denial. Their rhetoric, policies, and actions consistently serve to divide Americans by race, incite hatred, undermine democracy, and concentrate power in the hands of the few.

          This is not a partisan critique; it is a moral and civic alarm. If these ideologies go unchecked, America risks slipping further down a path where fear replaces freedom, and cruelty becomes governance. The time for euphemisms is over. We must name the danger for what it is, or we may soon wake up in a country we no longer recognize.
