Well much of what he’s doing either doesn’t directly target many white USians, or the impact of it is delayed and obfuscated enough that they can bury their head in the sand for now. As with previous US presidents, the majority of his overt brutality is racist violence. So a certain percentage will go along, not only because some of them are racist, but because so many are white and so the violence does not target them (yet).

That said, the belief that it doesn’t affect them is a faulty one. Racist violence is inseparable from class warfare. It is a distinct component of the same struggle in the sense that: like with how you can’t emancipate the proletariat by “making them all bourgeois” because that still requires an exploited underclass, you can’t emancipate the proletariat by improving their rights a bit via entrenched exploitation of a racialized underclass, i.e. neglecting anti-racist struggle in the context of white supremacy is neglecting a critical part of class struggle.

In order for the USian working class to advance its cause, it has to dismantle the institution of white supremacy. When understood from this perspective, I think it is much easier to see how even benefits of being “white” in the current climate are another dimension of class warfare; a kind of caste division for a “divide and conquer” strategy. And it is critical for people to understand this in order to grasp the importance of solidarity. When they don’t stand with AES states and they don’t stand with anti-imperialist self determination of peoples, they don’t stand with class struggle. They stand instead with the kind of brutal imperialists who would let them die homeless without a second thought if it meant their power expanded a bit more.
