Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Typology of Trumpism

I like the (i) category the most. They are the ones who first lost their jobs in the new dispensation and the ones crying foul all over the airspace now. Once you manifest self-hate, and pitch your flag at the enemy's camp, there is nothing much left to live by!

A small problem exists: you cannot accept the credentials of Western liberal democracy and simultaneously deny its proponents the "rights" to their reasons. The painful reality is this: apart from the inflation that people complain about, those who voted for him continue to gloat.

Gloria, thanks for these categories but they do not capture or account for African Trumpists. 

 

I categorize them into:

 

1. Culture cringe self-hating and White-worshipping Africans

2. Evangelical, Pentecostal and some other Christians who think that Trump is a protector of Christians and Christian rights worldwide

3. Muslim Africans frustrated with Gaza who thought that Trump would dismantle the US empire, rein in Israel, protect Palestinian interest and bring peace to the Middle East

4. Anti-LGBT Africans who applaud Trump's anti-LGTQ and anti-trans policies and see him as a restorer of heteronormativity, patriachy, and family values

5. Authoritarians and democracy malcontents who are enamored with blustering, bullying, and "strong" leaders (Trump, Putin, etc) who exhibit what they see as decisive if authoritarian leadership

6. Misogynists and patriarchal Africans who see Trump as the avatar of masculinity and a scourge on feminism

7. Self-described anti-woke Africans who applaud Trump's free-willing, "politically incorrect," offensive, and even racist speech. They see Trump as a champion of free speech.
