With trump being guaranteed to win the 2024 election and it also being likely that the state will be much more violent, what do you think is going to happen in the US over the next few years?

    I think if they do a blitz to promote colorismo over whiteness as the new racial situation they could maybe do it in ten years. It's already an extant expression of racial sentiment and dominates the rest of the Americas, the US and Canada are just outliers that have preserved whiteness in its previous incarnation. It's doable. It won't be easy, though.

      Where does China and Russia fit into this? Just have the colorismo spectrum be a black/brown/white spectrum and put the slavs and the chinese outside of it entirely as some variant of yellows/asiatics?

        I was more concerned with uniting the multiracial population of the US, actually leveraging racial sentiments against Asia would probably have to b its own project and is maybe unnecessary. Nativism might be enough if colorismo can topple white supremacy.

          If the average burgerlander can be "programmed" so thoroughly like this, what is stopping us from doing the same thing to create a mass of American commies? Resources?
