Even If Trump is the "Lowest White Man," That's Fine According to Supporters

Charles Blow, in his opinion piece about Donald Trump, states that Trumpism is a religion founded on patriarchy and white supremacy.

"It is the belief that even the least qualified man is a better choice than the most qualified woman and a belief that the most vile, anti-intellectual, scandal-plagued simpleton of a white man is sufficient to follow in the presidential footsteps of the best educated, most eloquent, most affable black man."

"Trump’s supporters are saying to us, screaming to us, that although he may be the “lowest white man,” he is still better than Barack Obama, the “best colored man.”

"In a way, Donald Trump represents white people’s right to be wrong and still be right. He is the embodiment of the unassailability of white power and white privilege."

Support of top of the hierarchy in action.
