It seems more like anarcho-tyranny, ie
Anarcho-Tyranny is a concept where the state permits or encourages chaos in limited form, either out of laziness or malice, through selective interpretation of the legal code. The state is ruthlessly tyrannical in the enforcement of some minor codes while willfully ignorant of those that promote a sense of security. Thomas Fleming describes anarcho-tyranny as "law without order: a constant busybodying about behavior that does not at all derive from a shared moral consensus."
Society can be very disordered and keep trudging on, with people being kept in check via fear of being destroyed by social media mobs and or the police state/military should one go against a protected group.
Many such cases of what Anechoic describes in software engineering/programming as well.
In America the GOP is the white party ... But certainly to be Republican has become to believe one is white,
Dunno about that. Most white nationalists/strongly identified white people I know consider the Republican party as too philosemitic to be the party for Whites.
it’s entirely possible that largely native third-generation Central Americans might one day ‘identify as’ huwhite for the purposes of political alignment
Yeah, but they won't be White.
But certainly to be Republican has become to believe one is white, whether one is Scots-Irish,
White.
Italian

Cuban, Mayan,
Not White.
WASP
White!
Jewish, Armenian
Not White.
or whatever else.
White means European derived people. Everyone knows what it means. It doesn't matter if you identify as being European derived if you aren't. You won't be white.
Tim Scott was effectively raised by a neighborhood white businessman who owned the local Chick-fil-A franchise, Candace Owens is married to an English hedge fund manager and son of a peer, Clarence Thomas has a white wife etc
If your ancestry can be (reasonably recently) traced to a black person, you aren't White.
Conversely, white progressives, even if they are literally as Nordic huwhite as it is possible to be under a Madison Grant-esque racial designation from 1890, do not ‘identify as’ white.
Well, they are.
My grandfather, born in the 1920s, would never describe himself as a Jew
Well, he is.
Muslims voted largely for the GOP (and pre-9/11 American Muslims were more Levantine/North African than they are today), they too identified as ‘white’, like my grandfather.
That was a misleading lie. They aren't white. It's a shame people feel the need to lie on census forms.
Man, I could do this all day. White: Overwhelmingly genotypically European, overwhelmingly phenotypically European. Everyone else ain't it.

Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis
Gives a detailed explanation of how DEI initiatives since the 1960s are increasing the fail rate of complex institutions in American society due to higher baseline incompetence in AA, diversity quota, etc hirings.
Damage is not only done directly by higher avg incompetence but through the knock on effects of un-meritocratic hiring practices - demoralization and disengagement from competent workers who are handicapped for diversity's sake.
