Trumpism, also known as the Make American Great Again movement, is a neo-fascist movement in the United States which emerged in the 2010s with the rise to the position of president of Donald Trump. Trumpism mobilizes the most reactionary segments of the population and holds racist, chauvinist, transphobic, ultranationalist, and isolationist stances.[1][2]
Ideology
Features
Trumpism, although not ideologically homogeneous, generally has the same basic features:
- A fervent cult of personality surrounding Donald Trump and aligned politicians,
- A tendency towards religious fundamentalism, sometimes to the extent of viewing Trump in a messianic role,
- White nationalism and closeted white supremacy, regarding any and all instances of anti-racism as being "reverse racism" and "anti-White",
- Opposition towards bourgeois democracy and tendency towards autocracy, acknowledging the Democratic Party as being corrupt and part of a "swamp" while denying the same corruption which effects the Republican Party,
- Anti-intellectualism and anti-science, believing academia as untrustworthy and part of the "Cultural Marxism" conspiracy. Denial of anthropogentric climate change,
- Fervent anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiments, particularly transphobia,
- Ultranationalism, nativism, and chauvinism. Trumpists believe the United States to be one of the greatest nations ever to exist and despise most other countries, effectively viewing Third World populations as inferior and sub-human.

The following entities are considered to be Trumpist:
- Most elements within the Republican Party[3]
