In his White House meeting today with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump once again deployed white racist grievance to falsely accuse the South African government of sanctioning genocide against white South African landowners.

This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last time that Trump appeals to his MAGA supporters along racist lines. It is, after all, a staple and organizing core of his (and MAGA’s) politics. Which is all the more reason that this racist spectacle and national embarrasment should be widely and unequivocally condemned.

The main fault line in politics today is between the Trump regime and a far flung multi class, peoples coalition challenging that regime. This is the strategic matrix from which everything else — allies and alliances, forms and issues of struggle, demands, etc — flows.

Such a strategy abhors political posturing and narrowly constructed politics, while insisting on sustained initiative, breadth of approach, and tactical flexibility. It is always helpful to remind ourselves that the coalition reststing Trump and the MAGA movement stretches from Angela Davis to Liz Cheney.
