Trump Is Enacting Structural Eugenics

You may not have heard the term Structural Eugenics before, but sadly we live at a time where it’s critical we know what it means, and what it looks like. Because MAGA and Trump are showing us what Structural Eugenics looks like—and it is horrifying.

MAGA Republicans are tracking autism, menstrual cycles, criticism of Trump, criticism of Israel, Trans people, and anyone who even dares whisper DEI—but NOT vaccination rates, measles spread, COVID deaths, firearm proliferation, firearm deaths, bird flu cases, people killed by law enforcement, climate change, or food regulations.

This is an unholy recipe for fascism and national disaster. This will kill is already killing people—and I fear that’s the MAGA goal. Let’s Address This.

Eugenics is the discredited and racist theory that selective breeding can and should be used to improve the human race. While many see this as a fascist act of the past, as Osagie K. Obasogie, a professor of law and bioethics at UC Berkeley, points out, it has persisted in insidious ways into modern times. Today, in the United States, a troubling trend has emerged where MAGA Republicans prioritize monitoring certain social issues while neglecting critical public health concerns. This selective focus raises alarms about which lives matter. Shocking no one, the group that incessantly changes “all lives matter,” doesn’t actually believe that either.​ By enacting eugenicist views as a matter of public policy, MAGAs advance Structural Eugenics. Below I share examples of how the Trump regime is enacting structural eugenics in broad daylight.
