Current Events > Trump's Return to Power Marks the End of the Omnicause

(+) Yeah! (+)

The return of Trump in the White House heralds a lot of horrid possibilities, but one certainty now is that intersectionality, otherwise known as the omnicause, will die as more communities focus on taking care of their own in order to survive. In other words, we are less likely to see intersectional movements like "Queers for Palestine" or "Asians for BLM" as the different groups now have to reprioritize their goals to aid immediate members and ration out resources in the event that the far right limits access to them.

People have forgotten that there was a massive groundswell of support for BLM, trans rights and gay rights during the first Trump term. Can't remember what year it was but one year in his term was basically one long BLM protest which led to a lot of local police reforms.

There was a massive "muh woke SJW" backlash against these causes under Biden and the question is whether people will be complacent or fight back.

Yeah this. People don't like when someone is publicly being blatantly discriminatory, so we're gonna get a lot more support for this kind of stuff instead. Up until Trump does something like turning the military on protesters or some **** and it becomes actively dangerous to stand against the GOP, there will be an increase in support for the groups under attack.

It doesn't generally work in general elections, because despite them bragging about it, many people seem(ed) to think that the stuff Trump was running on wouldn't actually happen.

I think TC is trying to sound philosophical.

Unfortunately, Project 2025 will help put a stop to that. I only hope we have something substantial to counter the far right with because the majority of voters ended up giving Trump the keys to power once again.

This happens every time though.

When Trump won the first time, there was a ton of random finger pointing at each other, and then everyone shut up when bigger problems came up.

Apparently, that meant nobody actually learned anything from 2016, but we'll have the same end-result.
