The term structural eugenics is more than rhetorical spice—it’s an accurate diagnosis of a regime governed by subtraction: subtracting care, data, and protection of law from those it deems expendable.
But let’s not get lost in the spectacle of Trump himself. He is the tip of the spear, not the hand that throws it.
What we’re witnessing isn’t one man’s madness. It’s a doctrine of deliberate neglect engineered by the orbit around him—the bureaucrats, billionaires, sycophants, and ideological necromancers who believe governance means deciding who lives and who suffers in silence. Trump is merely their crude vessel, the mask on the face of a state being reprogrammed to serve cruelty as policy.
The article could have pointed out this isn’t just about targeted groups. It’s about testing the boundaries of public tolerance—using marginalized people as the canaries in a collapsing democratic coal mine. If they can erase a trans teen, deport a dissenting student, criminalize a woman’s body—what makes you think they won’t come for the rest of us when we’re inconvenient?
The slow bureaucratic strangulation of DEI, climate research, gun violence data, vaccine development—these are not policy disagreements. They are the withdrawal of empathy by design. And they all share one goal: to disempower the collective by isolating the vulnerable.
What should terrify us is not the chaos. It’s the coordination. Not the mad king, but his obedient court.
This is no longer about Trump’s personality disorder. It’s about the metastasis of an ideology that uses his image like a puppet. And if we keep fighting the showman and not the machine behind him, we will lose more than a presidency—we’ll lose the muscle memory of democracy itself.
So yes—call it what it is. Structural eugenics. Fascism. Tyranny by data void and dog whistle. But then get up. Organize. Vote. Call. Write. Agitate. Speak. Because this is not just about resisting a man.
It’s about rejecting the twisted vision of America that his enablers are constructing in our name.
Thanks Dino, I think you and Thom are correct on all counts. I'm a bit naive, and guilty of simple wishful thinking, never thought this country could become so inhuman and vicious.
None of us wanted to believe it. The notion that such a catastrophicly huge segment of our population could wear malignancy like a badge of honor is stunning. They are beyond redemption and I shall never forget inhumanity they wield now in the open for all to see.
Clear as a bell, once again. The deluded people who feel a great compulsion to believe they are the superior, chosen few are determined to force their delusions on everyone else. The test of our strength, capability, and intelligence is whether we can overcome them before their power-grab is too well-established. I say we can, and we will. But not without a knock-down, drag-out fight. It isn't as if this fight hasn't been fought before.
Genetic superiority is a crock, but both Trump and Muskrat are convinced it’s true. They are making this nation into the stuff of a dystopian nightmare.
Trumpism is the movement by billionaires to devolve this country back to the "glory" days of conquistador-like unabashed, unabated rapacity, because that's the only way they can preserve their humongous overburden of wealth. We are simply in their way.
Exactly! I feel like I have been screaming this since tRump 1.0. He almost succeeded destroying the country then except for a few guardrails that remained in place. The whole point of the repug/magat agenda is to remove all regulations and non political entities that protect the populace and environment from corporate raiders. Anything to bring back the good old days of the robber barons! And keep the rubes stupid and scrambling for crumbs amongst each other so they don’t pay attention to getting screwed at the same time. So hats off to “Faux News “, for they have succeeded in invading our democracy with a terminal disease-stupidity and indifference
While this post addresses “structural eugenics” embedded in domestic policy, it does not mention the same as it applies to foreign policies.
The dismantling of USAID will result in countless deaths worldwide. Left unchecked, the number of deaths worldwide, attributable to this regime’s policies, could easily exceed that Holocaust without one gas chamber being built.
They will use the data Elon Musk and DOGE have been hacking into. We can quit wondering what they are planning. The blueprint on managing bodies and behavior was already written and implemented in the form of the Chinese Social Credit System.
You shall obey and serve the masters. Trump just said in his interview with The Atlantic that he runs the country and the world. It's up to us to show him and the MAGA cowards otherwise. Republicans need to break ranks and join the resistance. Impeachment is the place to start. The new articles by Representative Thanedar are spot-on.
Thanks Thom. See you in the streets. Power to the People.
The reason that Trump believes that he runs the world, is because American's super power is consumption, debt enabled consumption, which means that America is the ever hungry mouth that will eat anything, an omnivore.
As a consequent most of the worlds nations, especially European, are dependent upon America as the consumer, and thus they humiliate themselves,prostate themselves at Lord Trump's feet, shedding any self respect, begging Trump to buy their products and resources.
Only a meglomaniac believes he runs the world. He is a liar, believes his own lies, and has, among other things, delusions of grandeur.
Puts his pants on one leg at a time. Says he is "winning" when he is a loser.
“The economy likely contracted in the first quarter on the back of a record trade deficit in goods as importers front-ran tariff hikes,” Comerica Bank Chief Economist Bill Adams wrote early Monday. “The labor market probably softened in April, with a lackluster increase in employment and an uptick of the unemployment rate. Job vacancies likely fell in March.”
“The Conference Board will probably report a big decline in consumer confidence in line with other household surveys,” Adams added. “Vehicle sales are anticipated to take a breather in April after March’s jump to the highest sales in four years.”
Senate Report: Elon Musk’s DOGE Conflicts of Interest Total $2.37 Billion
What Happened: A new Senate Democratic report found Musk faces at least $2.37 billion in potential legal exposure from investigations and regulatory actions, warning that Musk’s role overseeing agencies that regulate his companies could allow him to quash accountability and benefit financially.
Why It Matters: The findings highlight a major ethical crisis, with Musk positioned to shield himself from federal scrutiny while steering government contracts and regulatory decisions for personal gain. This is what unchecked oligarchic power looks like.
Musk has one goal -- to line his own greedy pockets by playing the system and exploiting FOTUS's insatiable need to remain in the spotlight. The bit that sickens me is the fact that he's being cheered on by those who stand to lose the most -- all because they think it will "own the libs." I hope they enjoy their permission to hate. It's all they're gonna get from this "presidency."
I think that $2.37 bil figure is low, considering consequential damages, penalties, interest, attorneys' fees.
He has other oustanding litigation. Arguably, he used his DOGE authority to obsteruct justice, which is a major crime. Fraud is a crime. Did Trump admit that Musk stole Pennsylvania for him? State jurisdiction. Punitive damages?
I've been watching the polls. They dodn't ask about Musk. They don't ask whether it's OK to sell oiut to Russia, attack Panama, Canada, Greenland, Mexico. They don't ask whether it's OK to breach security. .
The US isn't the only country where he has exposure.
I think we might just find out that "All in all we are just another brick in the wall."
As Trump throws all of us under the bus, the ships. trucks and containers will remain empty. We're about to find out the extent of damage he has done to the rest of the world and how they will react. China has taken the lead when it comes to deriding him and Vance.
The Crackpot Curtis Yarvin is lobbying his patrons for a "humane genocide."
He has suggested that "useless eaters" be refined, not unlike how corn is turned into Ethanol. The underclass/middle-class would be refined like Soylent Green, but into biodiesel fuel for public transportation, i.e., muni buses.
Insane? Yes. But . . . Here we are. [Google Yarvin and biodiesel]
Short of that, he desires sealed coffins [he calls them honeycombs] with wall-sized, flat screens so that you can play WII tennis until you're dead. That way, these lunatics can sleep at night, guilt-free.
Who's Curtie Y.? He's a semi-intelligent, Silicon Valley ape masquerading as a two-bit philosopher.
Worse, he has Peter Thiel's ear and Thiel OWNS Vice P. JD Vance. Musk subscribes to Curtie's steaming pile of bullsh*t, as well.
And each of them, and there are many such, believes in absolute monarchy.
Finally, the pickle atop, Yarvin's sh*t sandwich? He wants to bring slavery back. To that end, he has locked into the Scottish moron: Thomas Carlyle.
La cultura bellum. What really underlines the motivation behind la cultura bellum?
Racism, well there is that in some sectors or segments, but bear in mind that there are a lot of black, Hispanic, Asians that are right wing culture warriors.
So it is more than race. Religion, a big motivator, but also an excuse, claiming that it is the natural order, created by a god or gods.
There is one thing that any and all motivations for authoritarianism, share in common and that is
paternalism, patriarchalism, the revival of Augustus Caesars law of Pater Familia, in which the husband had life and death control (literally) over wife and children.
It is manifested by the whining about “poor lost boys’”, in toxic masculinity,, in transphobia, in homophobia, the trad, Stepford Wife, wife. Fanatic efforts to pass legislation, that in essence make women a ward of the state, and thus an object.
Just as there are black NAZI’s like Mark Robinson and Kanye, Hispanic NAZI’s like Nick Fuentes and Enrique Tarrio, there are Quisling females like MJT, Boebert, Nancy Mace, Virginia Foxx.
There is a positive correlation , between the rise in the number and vociferousness of InCels, and the rise in demand for Virgra, Cialis and the liberation of society from masculine control.
Family Values is code, has nothing to do with family and values,other than restoration of Augustus Caesars law of Pater Familia.
Pro Life, has nothing to do with life, and everything to do with the control of men over the bodies of women.
And it is not a Caucasian phenomenon,, patriarchal sentiments are found in black, Hispanic, Asian communities and especially in their churches.
Like all of Trump's hateful, racist, and harmful policies, this coordinated withdrawal of government health services and citizen rights from minorities is a self-inflicted wound. As insane as it might be, record numbers of Blacks and Hispanics voted for Trump.
In this case, the trend is not our friend. Typically, medical insurers try not to insure high risk people. If forced to do so rates are usually unaffordable.
Most of the hostility and resentment goes back to a reaction to the 1960s LBJ great society programs. Republicans objected to virtually every program that would help and enrich low income people.
In the trade, life is risk management. In essence, Medicare/Medicaid is the insurer of last resort in this country. Since these applicants are deemed uninsurable by most insurers, they are unable to obtain an insurance policy to cover their risks, especially not at competitive market rates.
The baseline is SSI -- supplemental security income - which is welfare based on disability or age. Eligibility trigers entitlement to Medicare/Medicaid. Some states have "emergency" relief programs, but in essence general public assistance has been dead in most states since Clinton ended "welfare as yhou knew it."
I'm not clairvoiant, but you ain't seen nothin' yet. IMHO SSI is toast -- at best maybe retured to the states. Medicaid is a target -- MADA Mikd denies it but IMHO tafrget No 1.
Ironically, the ripple effect will hurt many Republican constituencies -- like Hospitals, the medical professions and Big PHARMA.
As sometimes happens when I read Thom's articles it seems his views are too out there, too unlikely, or alarmist. Then upon thinking about what he has said I realize that once again he's describing what is really happening. Eugenics, something from the dead file of history apparently is making a comeback under Trump. Who's the mastermind behind this systemic sickness? Is it white Christian nationalism funded by Musk and other super rich white guys? It would be nice if the people behind the curtain stepped out for a photo op and presser to tell us what outcome they have in mind for us. A big beautiful, white dominated ant pile?
G2 It is Musk,Bezos,Zuckerberg,the faces behind project 2025.It is also the religious fanatics,the white Evangelical Nationalists,the Catholic church and the synagogues,none of whom are fighting back.Read the article from the NY Times 4/18/25,you will understand why these groups support Trump.All of this certainly makes one wonder why those with money do not leave this country.
Thank you, as always, for keeping us well informed. I never at anytime held out hope that somehow rfk, jr would not be as bad for our health as he is proving to be. I have gotten all my recent vaccines from the local CVS. My Primary Care's office does not provide them. I suspect they are actually "anti vax". (I live in deep red, maga land) From what I have read, the measles booster seems like a good idea. I have my semi-annual check up with my Primary today, and I am about to find out how they feel about vaccines in general, and the measles booster specifically. Finding reliable medical care has only become more difficult, especially for people over 65 like myself. I may need to make that difficult decision today. Living where I do requires a serpentine navigation of decisions almost daily in dealing with and maintaining relationships with friends, vendors and relatives. It saddens me as well, as it's to become increasingly necessary in this new fascism. The old and sick will not make the cull.
Michael,this is what it's like to live in a " Nazi" environment.Please post what you're primary thinks about vaccines.Trump intends to destroy people of color,females and the elderly.
I found out that the office does provide the normal "routine" vaccinations - flu, covid, shingles - but they do not offer the measles boost. They were having a computer issue today, so I was only able to discuss with my Primary Nurse Practitioner's assistant. My stats from last week's blood tests were all good, so she was dealing with too much and didn't feel the need to discuss much today anyway. I will see if my local CVS Pharmacy provides the measles boost. Living in NW Georgia at the Tennessee border, I feel certain we will be seeing more and more cases of measles locally. I like my Primary Care team. They respond promptly by their hospital system's portal - when I need a script refill or any health question or concern I may have, her assistant responds quickly. I am a throat cancer survivor, and that sort of response was incredibly valuable during my cancer treatments in 2023. They are the least problematic of the folks and areas I am forced to navigate due to this new fascism. My brother is the most. I used to get angry, but now I am mostly just saddened. Despair.
Do you think that Trump's draconian measures against pro Palestinian protester is trying to normalize genocide, making it easier to persecute minorities in this county?
Structural eugenics - the hair of the dog that bit 'murka. Whether or not TFG is the spear or its tip is irrelevant right now. It is more akin to the toxic sludge that floats to the top of a hazardous waste site.
In hindsight, none on these pages, I trust, would ever think of favoring this gruesome barbarism as a way of ridding any organism of a perceived terminal cancer. We must admit, however, that this strategy is nothing new to our nation. How does this get started? Where does it come from? How does it ever get a foothold inside a system that purports to value its society with equanimity?
To believe that it could never happen here is myopic. As a senior in HS, I read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. My dad fought in that war in Europe. As I read the pages, I could not help but think of the many early movies on TV and elsewhere I watched of our govt. wiping out and enslaving entire tribes of Native Americans. I read of the internment of 'murkan citizens of Japanese descent inside our country, losing everything they ever had. I also remembered reading of the mistreatment of Chinese folk who were essentially throw away laborers on the many railroads built across the nation.
I watched how the adult women in my family confined themselves to the kitchen while the men played cards and smoked cigars during family dinners. They worked like waitresses and kitchen help. Then I learned that not thirty years before I was born all women in 'murka could not vote. Among my high school male friends, I distinctly remember much misogynist talk about the young girls we all knew in our school and in neighboring towns.
I also remember that in my small village there were several persons with obvious physical and mental challenges who were either shunned or made fun of by certain members of our common community. One was in my family, and I got to know him pretty well, and like him a lot, so I was troubled by how others saw him.
And as a kid, I witnessed many brutal fights among the adult men in my village. All were various ethnic strains of white people, but I often heard epithets and curses calling out those differences as if they were monsters from different planets. And there were no true people of color anywhere near my village, and I vividly remember when someone who fit that description would come to town, the rumor mill would be in high gear, as if the town was being invaded by outlaws.
And I also remember how 'queers' were treated, even without any actual proof as to what might be actually true. Beatings, shunning, mocking. While I also knew of and witnessed homo-sexual behaviors of a bullying nature by older boys against younger ones, the same bullies who would assault alleged 'homos' in our town and school. I once had to fight like a honey badger to avoid being raped by one of them.
All though out my life I have expected that these mal-adaptive actions would be resolved by more education, exposure and public pressure. I am now a very disappointed elderly man. So if we need any impetus other than Thom Hartmann continuously screaming at us to get our act together, I would recommend that we all search our memories and our inner values, and make a confession about all those many times when we were silent, or complicit, or actually guilty of the behaviors we now scorn from the TFG gaggle of psychopaths.
It is entirely convenient to 'look the other way.' It also is cowardice. Now it is certain that the cancer in our country is coming for those of us who eschew the bully sociopath, exactly because we reject that philosophy for the perverse pathos it is. We are grossly overcrowded. We have many illnesses and problems. Many of us are not wealthy and have no nest egg to weather this madness in silence and solitude.
This is our cancer. We are responsible for excising it from our societal body, using any and all means. It is ugly and risky and unnerving. It will no doubt require some form of violence, perhaps many times, to wipe this out. It will not result in winning. It will result in surviving, if we care to clarify our values and defend them. Some will capitulate. Fight, freeze, flee. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
And the beauty of the scheme is that it doesn't have to create monstrous eyesores like divided highways or railway lines to separate selected out-groups from niceties like supermarkets with wider variety and lower prices, health facilities, better public schools, etc.
The right wing nuts get so much support from business interests. The end of corporate interests is coming near little boys. The Dark Divine Feminine Energy Visionary and goddesses like Hecate is on the march and your days are ending forever in the 5D. The poison of hate and corruption is coming to a permanent end. Get ready to feel the rage of God for being against his people. The old forms that allow the pretense is crumbling and it is all going down. The old has no future. The Chosen Cosmic Creator is coming. You will know him by his healing presence and voice. Once the people feel his touch nobody will support the old forms. Only holding love and truth will matter and God will be known to be God once again because the Chosen could not do what he does without God. Praise God from whom all blessing flow.
Not to worry. Plenty of company with so called Christians. They will also not understand that God is simply your higher self and all higher selves together are the same God. Few Christians will agree to that as it does not seem like the Bible story. The body brain is not able to understand what the higher self does. God is just a label that nobody understands how it works. A halfdragon flying is not possible without God's power. Chinese history has halfdragons and dragon's. Look at their movies with them flying all over the place. The Chosen is changing the universe and not just the earth. When you see dragons in the sky and unicorn's is when you can be sure it was not done by man but by the power of God.

Maybe we can sue Musk for negligence to recoup the losses.
If history is a guide, Trump will throw Musk under the bus.

Then upon thinking about what he has said I realize that once again he's describing what is really happening. Eugenics, something from the dead file of history apparently is making a comeback under Trump. Who's the mastermind behind this systemic sickness? Is it white Christian nationalism funded by Musk and other super rich white guys? It would be nice if the people behind the curtain stepped out for a photo op and presser to tell us what outcome they have in mind for us. A big beautiful, white dominated ant pile?
G2 It is Musk,Bezos,Zuckerberg,the faces behind project 2025.It is also the religious fanatics,the white Evangelical Nationalists,the Catholic church and the synagogues,none of whom are fighting back.Read the article from the NY Times 4/18/25,you will understand why these groups support Trump.All of this certainly makes one wonder why those with money do not leave this country.
Long before the Heritage Society reduced it to writing, the main sponsors were the Koch Brothers, John Birchers.
Bezos and Zuckerberg are NOT part of that cartel. If anything, they are targets.
To be fair, Catholicism as a whole doesn’t endorse eugenics, it’s more the right wing anti-Pope Francis crowd who would.
Thank you, as always, for keeping us well informed. I never at anytime held out hope that somehow rfk, jr would not be as bad for our health as he is proving to be. I have gotten all my recent vaccines from the local CVS. My Primary Care's office does not provide them. I suspect they are actually "anti vax". (I live in deep red, maga land) From what I have read, the measles booster seems like a good idea. I have my semi-annual check up with my Primary today, and I am about to find out how they feel about vaccines in general, and the measles booster specifically. Finding reliable medical care has only become more difficult, especially for people over 65 like myself. I may need to make that difficult decision today. Living where I do requires a serpentine navigation of decisions almost daily in dealing with and maintaining relationships with friends, vendors and relatives. It saddens me as well, as it's to become increasingly necessary in this new fascism. The old and sick will not make the cull.
Michael,this is what it's like to live in a " Nazi" environment.Please post what you're primary thinks about vaccines.Trump intends to destroy people of color,females and the elderly.
I found out that the office does provide the normal "routine" vaccinations - flu, covid, shingles - but they do not offer the measles boost. They were having a computer issue today, so I was only able to discuss with my Primary Nurse Practitioner's assistant. My stats from last week's blood tests were all good, so she was dealing with too much and didn't feel the need to discuss much today anyway. I will see if my local CVS Pharmacy provides the measles boost. Living in NW Georgia at the Tennessee border, I feel certain we will be seeing more and more cases of measles locally. I like my Primary Care team. They respond promptly by their hospital system's portal - when I need a script refill or any health question or concern I may have, her assistant responds quickly. I am a throat cancer survivor, and that sort of response was incredibly valuable during my cancer treatments in 2023. They are the least problematic of the folks and areas I am forced to navigate due to this new fascism. My brother is the most. I used to get angry, but now I am mostly just saddened. Despair.
Do you think that Trump's draconian measures against pro Palestinian protester is trying to normalize genocide, making it easier to persecute minorities in this county?
Structural eugenics - the hair of the dog that bit 'murka. Whether or not TFG is the spear or its tip is irrelevant right now. It is more akin to the toxic sludge that floats to the top of a hazardous waste site.
In hindsight, none on these pages, I trust, would ever think of favoring this gruesome barbarism as a way of ridding any organism of a perceived terminal cancer. We must admit, however, that this strategy is nothing new to our nation. How does this get started? Where does it come from? How does it ever get a foothold inside a system that purports to value its society with equanimity?
To believe that it could never happen here is myopic. As a senior in HS, I read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. My dad fought in that war in Europe. As I read the pages, I could not help but think of the many early movies on TV and elsewhere I watched of our govt. wiping out and enslaving entire tribes of Native Americans. I read of the internment of 'murkan citizens of Japanese descent inside our country, losing everything they ever had. I also remembered reading of the mistreatment of Chinese folk who were essentially throw away laborers on the many railroads built across the nation.
I watched how the adult women in my family confined themselves to the kitchen while the men played cards and smoked cigars during family dinners. They worked like waitresses and kitchen help. Then I learned that not thirty years before I was born all women in 'murka could not vote. Among my high school male friends, I distinctly remember much misogynist talk about the young girls we all knew in our school and in neighboring towns.
I also remember that in my small village there were several persons with obvious physical and mental challenges who were either shunned or made fun of by certain members of our common community. One was in my family, and I got to know him pretty well, and like him a lot, so I was troubled by how others saw him.
And as a kid, I witnessed many brutal fights among the adult men in my village. All were various ethnic strains of white people, but I often heard epithets and curses calling out those differences as if they were monsters from different planets. And there were no true people of color anywhere near my village, and I vividly remember when someone who fit that description would come to town, the rumor mill would be in high gear, as if the town was being invaded by outlaws.
And I also remember how 'queers' were treated, even without any actual proof as to what might be actually true. Beatings, shunning, mocking. While I also knew of and witnessed homo-sexual behaviors of a bullying nature by older boys against younger ones, the same bullies who would assault alleged 'homos' in our town and school. I once had to fight like a honey badger to avoid being raped by one of them.
All though out my life I have expected that these mal-adaptive actions would be resolved by more education, exposure and public pressure. I am now a very disappointed elderly man. So if we need any impetus other than Thom Hartmann continuously screaming at us to get our act together, I would recommend that we all search our memories and our inner values, and make a confession about all those many times when we were silent, or complicit, or actually guilty of the behaviors we now scorn from the TFG gaggle of psychopaths.
It is entirely convenient to 'look the other way.' It also is cowardice. Now it is certain that the cancer in our country is coming for those of us who eschew the bully sociopath, exactly because we reject that philosophy for the perverse pathos it is. We are grossly overcrowded. We have many illnesses and problems. Many of us are not wealthy and have no nest egg to weather this madness in silence and solitude.
This is our cancer. We are responsible for excising it from our societal body, using any and all means. It is ugly and risky and unnerving. It will no doubt require some form of violence, perhaps many times, to wipe this out. It will not result in winning. It will result in surviving, if we care to clarify our values and defend them. Some will capitulate. Fight, freeze, flee. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
And the beauty of the scheme is that it doesn't have to create monstrous eyesores like divided highways or railway lines to separate selected out-groups from niceties like supermarkets with wider variety and lower prices, health facilities, better public schools, etc.
The right wing nuts get so much support from business interests. The end of corporate interests is coming near little boys. The Dark Divine Feminine Energy Visionary and goddesses like Hecate is on the march and your days are ending forever in the 5D. The poison of hate and corruption is coming to a permanent end. Get ready to feel the rage of God for being against his people. The old forms that allow the pretense is crumbling and it is all going down. The old has no future. The Chosen Cosmic Creator is coming. You will know him by his healing presence and voice. Once the people feel his touch nobody will support the old forms. Only holding love and truth will matter and God will be known to be God once again because the Chosen could not do what he does without God. Praise God from whom all blessing flow.
How does a non christian respond to that?
Not to worry. Plenty of company with so called Christians. They will also not understand that God is simply your higher self and all higher selves together are the same God. Few Christians will agree to that as it does not seem like the Bible story. The body brain is not able to understand what the higher self does. God is just a label that nobody understands how it works. A halfdragon flying is not possible without God's power. Chinese history has halfdragons and dragon's. Look at their movies with them flying all over the place. The Chosen is changing the universe and not just the earth. When you see dragons in the sky and unicorn's is when you can be sure it was not done by man but by the power of God.
