The Lie of Western Diversity and Inclusion

The lie of Western diversity and inclusion doesn’t work while committing genocide
While Donald Trump is a monster in his own right, his platform is more honest and ideologically consistent. Kamala Harris’s campaign was a bundle of contradictions and gaslighting statements, using celebrities to drag the dead corpse of the Democratic Party campaign across the finish line.
Now that the dust seems to have settled following the US elections, a critical look at Washington’s foreign policy under the Democratic Party administration is in need. While it is clear that the genocide in Gaza was not a primary issue for most American voters, the issue was of central importance in undermining the Harris campaign.
The landslide victory for Donald Trump in the American elections clearly inflicted a psychological blow on supporters of the Democratic Party. Immediately after the results were in, social media was ripe with commentary from angry Democratic Party supporters who sought to blame every single minority group under the sun. Allegations were made against Black men, Latinos, Arabs, Muslims, and even Native Americans, who had death wishes placed upon them and were racially abused on a grand scale.
Meanwhile, CNN, MSNBC, and other mainstream US broadcast media outlets were floating a million ideas as to why their favored candidate did not win the election. Some commentators even ridiculously argued that Kamala Harris was not pro-"Israel" or pro-Ukraine enough.
While the failures of the Harris campaign were numerous, the particular effect of the Democratic Party’s foreign policy approach, coupled with their reliance on Identity Politics, is not receiving the very relevant coverage it deserves.
