For example, in the US public discourse you wouldn't find any notion of White Christian Liberal Democracy; if there is any, it is usually thoroughly denied by its alleged supporters and it is allegedly wrapped into layers of dog whistles and innuendos.
I didn't want to make any explicit comparisons because they are going to be crude and lacking in their form and content due to the complexity of the topic and the short format of the comment section. So, of course, one can say that the parallels I draw are inadequate and so on because reasons, but the existence of that distinction is kind of my point.
