Trump Discovers White People are Suddenly 'Victims' of Civil Rights
Donald Trump, fresh from his campaign trail, declared that civil rights protections have led to white people being treated 'very badly.' This stunning reversal of historical narrative, reported by The Independent, suggests that centuries of systemic advantage somehow evaporated, leaving a vacuum of woe. Trump's administration, for the record, spent its tenure actively dismantling Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, implying a clear vision for who should (and shouldn't) feel 'protected.' One might wonder if 'very badly' in this context means having to compete on equal footing, or perhaps not having every single door automatically opened. The sheer audacity of framing basic equality as an egregious harm to the historically dominant group would be comedic if it weren't
so transparently cynical—a dog-whistle symphony for his base, playing the age-old tune of manufactured grievance. When does 'equal rights' start feeling like oppression to those accustomed to privilege? Apparently, right about now.
