"Are you aware of how badly white men are discriminated against and put upon in this country? The only people who suffer an equivalent amount of discrimination are Christians, specifically white Christians, even more specifically white young male Christians."

"We learned this from our bearded white male Christian Vice President who spoke at the CPAC gathering yesterday about how upset he is that 'the culture,' as he calls it, hasn’t been fair to the cohort of Americans he comes from and represents, not only as the Vice President, but as a Christian."

Adam Serwer says that what Republicans under Trump want to effect is the "Great Resegregation":

"What its advocates want is not a restoration of explicit Jim Crow segregation—that would shatter the illusion that their own achievements are based in a color-blind meritocracy."

The Atlantic · The Great ResegregationBy Adam Serwer

"They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity while maintaining an unofficial racial hierarchy. Like elections in authoritarian countries where the autocrat is always reelected in a landslide, they want a system in which they never risk losing but can still pretend they won fairly."

"As the Trump State Department official Darren Beattie wrote, 'Competent white men must be put in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.'"

"This analysis is perceptive in the sense that the exact reverse is true—we are now in the second decade of a years-long temper tantrum sparked by the election of Barack Obama—not to mention the failed attempts to elect a woman to succeed him—and the effect it had on the fragile self-esteem of people like Beattie."

Our hearts should break for white Christian men. So, so discriminated against! So little power, with women heading all the big corporations in this country, heading the government—that long, long line of women, especially Black ones, sitting on the president's throne in the White House! The list of multi-billionaires: all women! Most of them Black!

White Christian men just can't get a break.

@wdlindsy Maybe someday there will be a white Christian male member of Congress, or of the Supreme Court. Or, dare I say, a white Christian male US president. Keep dreaming!

I am an 88 year old white woman who has been coddling poor, helpless white men my entire life, while managing to support myself and my child on my own, deflecting sexist remarks, “feelies”, lower salaries and, finally, becoming self employed to avoid the men-children who were suffering so badly. The poor babies! They need MORE HELP to continue to exist.

@jancampbellcady Thank you for this valuable testimony. I am sorry for what you have endured at the hands of my fellow white men. Perhaps because I grew up in a family (maternal side of my family) in which my grandmother was left a young widow with six children to feed and raise during the Depression, and a stepson, I grew up hearing strong women — my grandmother and her very capable five daughters — talk openly about the odds women face from men. This shaped my outlook from very early on.

@wdlindsy That’s exactly what the game will be, pretend they won a fair election so they can say, “this is what you voted for people“. Most significantly, this is what they had the dummies thinking when the elections were fair, so the waters will be greatly muddled, trying to sort through their maze of lies and manipulations.😳🔥

@wdlindsy A continuation of what's described in "The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America".

@wdlindsy Completely disheartening house cleaning that wipes away any influence from perceived DEI, allowing racism and sexism to run wild, beating it’s chest, with the additional advantage of removing perceived political opposition/Deep State participants, to place corrupt Trump forces in their place. The damage is likely to lead to catastrophe and will be difficult to reverse, that is if we survive #TheHeadLiar.

JD Vacuous's Christianity is not a Christianity Jesus would recognize. It's a Roman general's perversion of it for his own ends.
