The Homecoming – Donald Trump, Jesus, And A White House As White As Can Be

‘Religion is back!’ said the President on Easter Sunday, the most holy of Christian holidays, a day only a year ago was celebrated by former President Biden as Transgender Day.  Instead of Holy Week processions, a solemn High Mass, and thankfulness for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the White house was festooned with gay pride flags, colored with pink lighting, and honored with transgender women all flouncy, dressed to the nines, high heels and silk stockings, frilly dresses, gold and silver, redolent with Yves St Laurent.

 

The nation was outraged, and that absurd event was the straw that broke the camel's back.  Having already had quite enough woke, badgered and hammered for four years with race, gender, and ethnicity, black this, black that, queerness, and diversity, when the President festooned himself in gay finery, put on the gayest Cage Aux Folles drag show the nation had ever seen at the very moment Jesus Christ was being nailed to the cross, Walmart greeters, shoe salesmen, and housewives howled travesty, and Joe Biden breathed his last political breath.  

Of course there were other reasons for Biden to go – high taxation, open immigration, punitive environmentalism, and impossible restrictions on private enterprise – but it was this Easter transgression that did it. All the rest could be dismissed as political exaggeration, easily reversed by a conservative administration; but this impossibly ignorant, weird transmogrification of any decent sense of religious sentiment, this attempt to humiliate Christians could not. 

Easter! The holiest of holy days, the most important date in the Christian calendar, a day of such significance and such spiritual, historical, and ecclesiastical importance that it overshadowed all others treated by Biden as a bother, another obstacle to progressivism and secular reform.

Religion, said these progressives, would mark a retrograde turn to Bible-thumping hysteria, ecstasy, born again nonsense, and mindless, abject, floor-scraping idolatry.  The causes of the black man, the other-gendered, the poor, the marginalized, and the forgotten would be ditched in favor of some airy fairy faux visionary blather.  What had religion ever done for the world but been the right hand man of colonialism?

It was the black robes, the friars, monks and priests that sailed with the conquistadors, blessing the establishment of a Christian reign over the savages of the indigenous tribes of the Americas.  It was the Crusaders sent by Pope Urban II to liberate Jerusalem from the infidel who slaughtered, raped, and maimed thousands in the name of Jesus Christ.  Worst of all it is the Jews who are currently massacring tens of thousands of Palestinians in the name of Moses, Abraham, and God.

Religion simply gets in the way.

So when Donald Trump proclaimed a new age of religion, and in one fell swoop wiped years of liberal secular sanctimony clean, progressives were incredulous.  Not only was he intending to allow religious belief to take precedence over secular progress, the irony of such an evil man claiming the right to do so was infuriating; and yet, they could only stand by and watch.  Their credibility already non-existent thanks to their capitulating internationalism, their wild environmentalism, and their hysterical championing of the black man and homosexuals, had dropped to near zero after the Biden Easter fiasco.

If this wasn’t bad enough, the second Trump Administration was as white as snow, lily white, universally white, blonde, blue eyed, flaxen haired white.  It was a reversal of the centerpiece of progressivism – multiculturalism.  For progressives diversity had a higher value, it was innately, unquestionably right and good.  It was naturally good, it was syllogistically good, irrevocably good.  A crowd of black and brown people was ipso facto better, more morally correct, more historically right than a crowd of whites.

 

And in a flash that assumption was tossed aside, left on the curb, dismissed, derogated, and forgotten.  It was white, European civilization since Ancient Greece and Rome which had given the world higher learning, art, culture, science, administration, and jurisprudence.  While Africa was still a Neolithic, Stone Age place, Europe was a land of cathedrals, palaces, arches and aqueducts, vineyards and wheat fields.  Not only was there no shame in being European, there was pride in its heritage.  Whiteness meant greatness, it was as simple as that.

Progressives in their monotone harping about the evils of colonialism have refused to accept European white accomplishment if not glory.  Their historical revisionism has been an expression of this cultural myopia.

 

The new Trump Administration, therefore, is not just a new, different political regime – it is a socially transformative one.  It has vowed to reject multiculturalism as an innate higher good and to replace it with universal opportunity.  Success will be colorblind – whoever reaches the top will be lauded for their ability, talent, and intelligence, nothing more.  In its pledge to restore religion to prominence, it has simply reflected the aspirations of every culture, none of which are without God, gods, or spirits.

It is no wonder that progressives are a scattered, scratchy, aimless lot.  If their humiliating defeat at the polls wasn't bad enough, the new president has committed himself to remaking America in the image of the Fifties – a white, religious, patriotic, and wholly ambitious place.

It is no wonder that the Left is dazed and confused, still pandering and howling racism and white supremacy, capitalist greed, neo-colonialism and bloody adventurism, but with no one listening.  Of course their claques and shills on the coasts are still shaking their heads in disbelief, certain that moral rectitude and government compassion will return, but now with no moral, political, or socially believable core, that is doubtful at best.

A few progressives are leaving America.  It is too horrible a place to live, they say, too vile to abide, and they fear for their lives; but these wealthy, privileged few are not giving up their citizenship or their right of return. Europe is a fanciful idyll at best, an imagined world of high culture and tolerance when of course the continent, thanks to uncontrolled Islamization, is turning into a far more rabid, hysterical, and intolerant place than America ever could be.  Worse for these expatriating idealists, Europe is fast becoming as conservative as Trump’s America.

Giorgia Meloni, President of Italy has said that she wants to restore, rebuild, and promote the greatness of the West, not a geographical place, but a state of mind and culture, an intellectual region of logic, brilliance, openness, and spirit; and it is just this cultural ethos that the Trump revolution intends to  restore.
