Trump’s Common Sense WiIl Destroy America
Less than 14 hours after a fatal accident in which a commercial jet crashed into a US military Blackhawk helicopter, President Trump made a—baseless—suggestion that the incident was related to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies brought on by the Democrats namely the Obama and Biden administrations.
Trump’s Common Sense Only Makes Sense To White Nationalists
Typically, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) takes at least three months to up to two years to investigate and determine the cause of aviation accidents. Never mind the NTSB; Trump has already determined the cause. When asked by a reporter why he had jumped to the conclusion so fast that diversity [DEI] caused this crash, Trump replied, “I have common sense, okay, and unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”
Yes, that’s right. Trump used his common sense to determine the cause of the accident long before even the critical black boxes were recovered and analyzed.
Trump’s remarks are not the type of common sense dialogue one expects to hear from the President of the most powerful nation on earth shortly after such a tragic accident that killed 67 people. Yet it is the typical type of common-sense rhetoric you expect to hear from a crazed, racist, white nationalist bent on pushing forward an agenda at any cost, no matter the occasion.
Even more disgusting, during his address and subsequent remarks to the press afterward, Trump repeatedly remarked that we need “naturally, highly intelligent,” “brilliant“ individuals in these positions (pilots and air traffic controllers). These words serve as dog-whistle-coded language, implying that these positions should be reserved only for white people. The underlying message suggests that whenever you see a Black, Latino, or Asian pilot or air traffic controller, your safety is at risk. Whether it’s targeting DEI, immigrants, or people of color, his perspective is consistent: Trump sees issues like this through the lens of his bigoted, white nationalist ideology. Tragically, this kind of racist rhetoric paints a target on every nonwhite person in a job perceived as belonging to white workers, fueling hostility and danger.
Trump is the first US president in my lifetime who openly advances white nationalist ideology and sentiments at every opportunity with the fervor of a crazed fanatic.
I firmly believe Trump and his administration’s rhetoric and actions are part of a deliberate, well-coordinated effort to destabilize and ultimately collapse the US government—efforts that align closely with the framework outlined by Project 2025 and Curtis Yarvin (also known as Mencius Moldbug), a prominent figure in the “neo-reactionary“ movement. Yarvin’s views on governance critique the foundational structure of democracy, advocating for a more authoritarian or centralized form of government, one where traditional democratic norms are replaced with a more top-down, less accountable system. Yarvin argues that the most effective way to change a government is to first dismantle it completely.
The determination of the adherents of these far-right wing, white nationalist ideologies to collapse the US government is also on par with why Trump fired Federal Inspector Generals and Justice Department officials and recently offered two million federal workers a buyout/severance program. In addition, we must include into this mix all of Trump’s executive orders to diminish or eliminate civil rights protections, the federal hiring freeze, and the inaugural day resignation of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) director allegedly due to pressure from Elon Musk. No FAA director or acting director was named as of the time of yesterday’s fatal crash. These actions and others perfectly align with Project 2025 and Yarvin’s ideology to destroy the current form of government—actions detrimental to morale and the smooth functioning of government.
Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republican Party Agenda
The US government, as it currently exists, must be dismantled and replaced with an autocratic system led by a CEO-style figure (Trump), running the country like a corporation. In this new order, the ultra-wealthy billionaires would assume key roles in governance, exercising substantial administrative control. More critically, this restructured government must be built upon the foundational tenets of white supremacy, firmly establishing the US as a nation that prioritizes and enforces a racial hierarchy centered on whiteness.
Trump and his oligarch allies, like Elon Musk, will continue working to erode public trust in the very systems that uphold democracy. By spreading rhetoric that questions the legitimacy of government institutions, the media, the courts, and the electoral process, they systematically weaken these pillars, making them easier to manipulate and dismantle. The coup de grâce of Trump’s plan was appointing a white Christian nationalist like Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense, tasking him with purging any Generals and Admirals who wouldn’t pledge unwavering loyalty and replacing them with devoted followers. Trump’s 2020-2021 coup attempt failed due to a lack of enough military backing from the top brass—but this time, he didn’t make that mistake. Now, not only does Trump have a loyal militia unit with his pardon of 1500 January insurrectionists—his Brownshirts—he will soon have a loyal military brass that will carry out any order he commands.
Anyone who thinks the US government can be dismantled and rebuilt as a CEO-style authoritarian regime run by billionairs and rooted in white supremacy—without unleashing chaos—is in for a brutal awakening. The American people will resist, and the world will not stand idly by.
America’s Democracy: On the Brink of Collapse
The failure of the Democratic Party, the media, and the people has enabled Trump’s assault on democracy, accelerating America’s slow-motion collapse. Each unchecked attack on democratic norms weakens governance, pushing the nation closer to authoritarian rule. Without urgent resistance, the US will lose its global standing—no longer a beacon of democracy but a failed state. As America fades, China, Russia, or another power will step in as the World’s moral and political leader because no nation that also brazenly champions the tenets of white supremacy can ever be an ethical, political leader of the World.
Today, in his remarks on the tragic aviation accident that killed 67 people, the world witnessed the US President’s glaring lack of leadership—his pathetic lack of “common sense.” Global leaders now recognize that America’s era of dominance is over, falling to its icy cold death along with those unfortunate souls Trump sought to politicize.
Chaos and mayhem are bound to erupt in America like no time seen since the turmoil and strife revealed in the 1960s. We can only hope history doesn’t further repeat itself, dragging us back to the apocalyptic upheaval of the early to mid-1860s.
