As more women are arrested for involvement in Jan 6 insurrection, support of QAnon comes up again & again. It is a "movement" driven largely by white women that FBI labelled terrorist threat in 2019.

I wrote this about them: White Women Storm the Capitol feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…

And this about the first QAnon supporters to be elected to the US Congress feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…

Marjorie Taylor Greene - one of the most dangerous people to ever be elected to the US Congress (and that's saying something) is a QAnon supporter, a white supremacist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic. Look how Elle article described her to see the fuckery white women get away with

If they were not white or certainly if they were Muslim, these women would be called fanatics, thus is privilege of whiteness.

White womanhood is privilege sweetened with an innocence & fragility that white women--liberal/conservative, Trump-voting/not--are adept at weaponizing.

Trump might have lost the election but he won white women voters with a bigger margin than in 2016 - 52% in 2016 to 55% in 2020. yahoo.com/lifestyle/shou…

And
- 89% of Republican women ay they either blame Trump "not very much" or "not at all" for the violence at the Capitol
- 92% of Republican women think Congress should NOT continue to take action against Trump for the Capitol violence npr.org/2021/01/15/956…

White women continue to uphold white supremacist patriarchy. This is far from new. It is also not new that the dangerous ways they drive it and the "soft face" they lend it are downplayed. More soon. feministgiant.com/p/coming-soon

And this the face of white women's fascism. One of several faces but as she liked to boast, she is the first woman to successfully lead a US presidential campaign. New article soon
