Text from article: The trope of white women being of a (relatively) more protected class than other members of the DEI consortium is certainly true. But this is relative. More protected, but still subjected to any number of punishments and inequalities, including domestic violence, which complicates the idea of a protected status. Last weekend, social media was filled with the Margaret Atwood quote, “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” But some of these white women seem to be using their protected status to face off with (often masked) ICE agents. In two different recent videos, a masked border patrol agent warns a white woman not to “make a bad decision,” and in another he says, “have you all not learned from the past couple of days?” And so these women, a group so coveted by advertisers and media companies, find themselves deemed AWFULS by MAGA. You might think that killing an unarmed mother crosses a Rubicon of sorts, and polls would say you were right. But one of the weird truisms of Trumpism is that Trump tends to only care about governing for the base, which is why one of their most common moves is to double or triple down on controversies. We saw this with Trump’s rhetoric after Venezuela. We see it now with respect to Greenland. And we saw it in Minneapolis, despite very poor polling (only 28 percent of Americans think ICE agent Jonathan Ross was “justified” in putting three bullets into the mother of three).
