Watch this space 👀 for a forthcoming report on remigration…
Kristi Noem refuses to directly answer a question about what Trump means by "remigration" -- a word that, as Kristen Welker notes, is often invoked by white nationalists in Europe

When I first started writing "The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging," I was reading
"The Women of the Far Right" by @evianeleidig.com and learning from her work. To now have her endorsement feels full circle. I am truly grateful.

This past weekend was the Remigration Summit, a far-right conference that calls to deport migrants to solve the Great Replacement.

Their 3 rules to make ‘remigration’ mainstream:

1. Repeat the term for visibility

2. Provoke a sense of public outrage

3. Use humor & memes to communicate

If only there was a book about this 🤔
While the women behind "womanosphere" outlets all have different styles and tactics, they are mostly aligned in their desire to return to a gender-essentialist worldview: women as submissive homemakers, men as strong providers.
Now comes the ‘womanosphere’: the anti-feminist media telling women to be thin, fertile and Republican

A key takeaway is that right-wing influencers and pundits have invested into cultural and lifestyle spaces (health & wellness, fitness, finance, self-help) as a gateway for political messaging
