Here’s the truth; if anyone tries to tell you that Donald Trump got himself reelected to the White House by running a campaign based on “facts over feelings” or any semblance of reality, that person is, to quote the great orator Katt Williams, “a fat Faizon liar.”

Trump has, once again, ascended to the White House after running a campaign of fear and easily debunked propaganda. He lied about how many migrants have crossed the southern border. He repeatedly lied about violent crime in America being on the rise, while crime data says the opposite is true. He lied about how bad the economy was under the Biden administration in comparison to his own presidency. He lied about pet-eating Haitians, post-pregnancy abortions, forced gender reassignment on children, and he continued his big, factless lie about the 2020 election being rigged against him. Donald Trump ran on white nationalist feelings over facts, and it would be nice if MAGA supporters just admitted that they voted for him, not because of his policies, but because of his seething white supremacy.

This brings us to a video that has been circling on social media since Trump’s win featuring a 2017 clip from Huang’s World, a Viceland docuseries hosted by Eddie Huang, who interviewed loud and proud white supremacist Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance.

In the interview, he admitted that he voted for Trump in spite of his obvious lies because Trump’s policies “would slow the dispossession of whites in the United States.”
“I want to know how it is you voted for Donald Trump when you’re so into facts because his entire campaign is not based on facts; it was all based in propaganda and emotion,” Huang said.
“I voted for Donald Trump for one reason only,” Taylor replied. “His policies, if implemented, would slow the dispossession of whites in the United States.
“If he were to deport all illegal immigrants; if he were to think very hard about letting in any Muslims — all of this would slow the rate at which whites are becoming a minority,” he continued.”
Wait — Taylor wasn’t trying to say that minorities are treated unfairly in America, was he? Because that sounds like some critical race theory sh*t right there.
Actually, what Taylor echoed were the sentiments of the Great Replacement Theory, which insists that non-white immigrants are intentionally being flooded into the country to replace white people. The completely non-factual, non-academic, and non-scientific theory derives from the ideology of white purity that originated with the Ku Klux Klan and was referenced in a manifesto left by Buffalo shooter Payton Gendron, who ruthlessly gunned down 10 Black people at a grocery store in Buffalo New York, in 2022.
It has also been embraced by Republican legislators and other elected officials and political candidates, including Trump, who, earlier this year, promised to fight an “anti-white feeling” that “can’t be allowed” — in a country that is more than 60% white and where white people dominate every important entity in Western society, from the corporate world to state and federal governments to all aspects of the justice system.
A vote for Trump was always a vote for white supremacy and white fragility. That’s how he won, and it would be nice if more of his supporters would just admit it.
