> Also, frankly, the attempt to make it seem like the “left” has a monopoly on “people of color” and “immigrants” is offensive. Trump got almost 30% of the Hispanic vote, and it’s not because of the lovely things he said about Hispanic people. Abbott got over 40% of the Hispanic vote in Texas. The idea that billionaires are going to form a coalition with nazis to oppress “people of color” is a leftist fever dream. That’s not what the parent said, they said that the right scapegoats various minority groups as a way of dividing the lower classes and bringing segments of them into alliance with itself. It’s true that fascistic scapegoating doesn’t operate along standard US racial frames, but not that the right won’t resort to them. The other thing you’re eliding is the incoherent tribalism inherent to fascist ideologies. Since they have no real commitment to meaning or truth, all it takes is identification with their precepts and a particular authoritarian manifestation to adhere to them.
