While Glaude's words sink in, let's review how some fascism-adjacent critics of academia are reacting to the election results.
Spoiler: They aren't moving past white supremacy. Oh, no. Their heels are dug in. In Glaude's words, they want to do this again & again & again. 2/

New Radical Racism: If the Democrats were just a lot more racist, they would have won more handsomely! Not incorrect, I suppose.
Also cheers on #JamesLindsay in proclaiming that anti-racism is a poison. How dare anyone suggest white people have anything to do with racism! 3/

Colin Wright: Personally embarrassed that his 2 degrees from UC schools feel a little less pure given unis want to increase access to education for underrepresented groups. Holds up his cartoon definition of systemic racism to claim that access to education is the real racism! 4/
Colin Wright, ctd.: Calls for continuance of fight against a nebulous ideological enemy. As a correspondence truther, he knows for certain "they" are wrong, their version of the world unreal, their thinking already falsified though also unfalsifiable. He is free of ideology. 5/
James Lindsay: The world makes sense, actually, if we aggressively pretend racism does not exist. 6/
James Lindsay, ctd.: I am personally funded by religious supremacists, but please take my unhinged word for it that „the Woke“ are a multi-billion-dollar operation of „religious fanatics.“ If Biden, the Wokiee, takes power, do „what you need to do.“ 7/
James Lindsay, again: In my world, which makes sense because I pretend racism doesn’t exist, Democrats are radicals! They *will* try to govern. That’s how radical. With TASK FORCES. There‘s some shield somewhere but it’s flimsy and it will fall in the face of such radicalism. 8/
#JamesLindsay, one more: When a Black person talks about facing our history and getting past racism, he can only be trying to make me hate myself! I will have none of that history. In my world, all is already great. We’re fine. Trump isn’t a racist. Make America great! 9/
