This point is especially important. The EO on "gender identity," for example, is biologically and historically incoherent and inaccurate, but the point is to make those lies true, to make those non-existent "natural" categories "real," via the exertion of state power.
"What is novel in the ideological propaganda of totalitarian movements even before they seize power is the immediate transformation of ideological content into living reality through instruments of totalitarian organization." Arendt wrote in 1954. She continued: "The Nazi movement, far from organizing people who happened to believe in racism, organized them according to objective race criteria, so that race ideology was no longer a matter of mere opinion or argument or even fanaticism, but constituted the actual living reality ... The Nazis, as distinguished from other racists, did not so much believe in the truth of racism as desire to change the world into a race reality." Similarly, rather than studying the world as it is in an empirical sense, identifying problems, and proposing solutions, Trumpism starts with "solutions" consistent with its racist and xenophobic worldview-extrapolated from slogans like "Make America Great Again," "Build the Wall," "Drain the Swamp"-and then goes in search of "real" problems to justify their implementation.
