The point about minority views no longer being able to take over is a scary one. There has been a great amount of social progress in the past several decades, and that sort of progress wouldn't be possible under the effects of strong social cooling.

White supremacy is a minority view in the US and seems to have gained huge amounts of traction in spite of these believed effects. White supremacists have lost jobs for being caught out attending rallies; it doesn't seem to stop the rallies.

Calling people you disagree with "white supremacists" has certainly gained ground.

But people self identifying as such are extremely rare.

In the way it might be casted upon supporters of the President, the distinction between white supremacy and white power is largely semantics.

As far as I understand it, "white supremacy" for those that desire it is the idealized end result of "white power." Much of the rhetoric from President Trump is to rally support for white power. [1]

Given the most common disagreement in the US is between those who advocate for or oppose President Trump, it makes sense that his followers would be deemed "white supremacists"

I believe the broad awakening among many white people in the US currently is the ambient benefits of invisible white power.
