No, that's not really what it is. White supremacy is a form of chauvinism, and the belief that whites are superior and should therefore be domineering towards other groups. You don't need to be violent or even be okay with violence to be a white supremacist. And even though I don't really consider myself far left, I can still see that there are laws and other structures in society that still enforce older ways of thinking at the expense of minorities. Refusing to acknowledge this or even treating the topic as a non-starter is what gets people called a white supremacist more often than not.
Oh you are so very close! You have accidentally stumbled on a really important piece of wisdom here. I think I might even have to give this post a like! But you are not quite there yet. I will help you!
Have you ever wondered about why half the population leans left and the other leans right? And why that never seem to change much despite all the debates and propaganda that flies from both sides? You'd think that one side would have convinced the other side with logical arguments that it is better by now. But that does not seem to happen. Because logic does not mater much in politics. Politics is mostly about tribalism and the emotions different groups embodies.
So what kind of emotions does the left and the right embodies? Well, the left embodies the emotions of shame and guilt. It speaks to people who are shameful and/or guilty and wants to get rid of these feelings. The right is the opposite. It embodies Pride and arrogance and it attracts people who are proud of themselves, their accomplishments and their country. (And also people who are proud of their history and race. But that is frowned up on, I dont know why?) Also most parents are proud of their children, which is why leftists who have children tend to become conservative over time.
Anyway, about shame: Shame is probably the most dangerous and destructive emotion to exist. It requires constant recompense and when it does not get that it instead turns in to bitterness and resentment. Thats dangerous because people who becomes bitter and resentful no longer care about truth or fairness. Only about making everyone else feel as bad as they do.
This is easy to observe if you look for it. Take the BLM protests as an example. What do they want? No one seem to know? They just seem to run around screaming vague insults about all cops being bad and that a specific race maters. And they get angry if you claim that all races mater. They also riot and burn down the properties of innocent bystanders. But what do they want to accomplish? They dont know. Or they pretend not to know. What they actually want is to get an outlet for all the resentment and anger that the shame has been building in them. They want to feel like they are important and they want everyone who think they are better than them to be dragged in the mud before them!
So they go out and egg each other on until catastrophy after catastrophy happens. And they delight every time any one else suffer. As long as that person is a sanctioned target. See below for an example:

Shall we have a toast, then?
People say that Trump is some kind of outsider to the right, but to me he is obviously the true avatar of conservatism. Its actually the old establishment repubs that are the fakers. But they are there for a good reason.
Why is Trump so perfect? And why does the left hate him so? Because of his policies? Heck no!
Its because Trump is the most Arrogant and Prideful man alive! He is the living embodiment of all the emotions that the right espouses. And he is the living embodiment of that which everyone bitter and resentful hate. There is nothing that a self loathing person hates more than a person that loves himself and displays it everywhere he goes and on every TV-screen! A person who brags every other sentence and look down on and berates people (that rightfully deserves is imho.) Even worse! He never loses! First he went in to the presidential race in 2016 as a total nobody that had never been elected to anything and had no political allies. Then he too down the "Chosen One" herself! Then the concerted efforts of the democrats, the media and the deep state spent four years trying to destroy him failed as he managed to fulfill more of his big election promises than almost any president before him!
What did Trump succeed with? Unemployment down to 3.5% in 2019! A shining border wall that (together with rule changes) have reduced illegal immigration by 80% compared to Obamas last year in office. (Probably more when 2020 numbers come in due to covid). Renegotiation of bad trade deals that are good for the capital but pits american workers against workers in 3:rd world countries that makes pennies per hour. As a result in 2019 the wages for the lowest paid workers increased the most in decades. Or did before the covid lockdowns. This is why so many labor unions support Trump.
Anyway I digress. The establishment repubs have a point though. Hard as it is to admit it. "Normal" politician are slick "centrists" like Biden that does not embodies any emotions and say anything to get people to like them/get elected. People dislikes them because of their slimyness, but no one hates them on an emotional level. They can rule and not have the opposite side revolt against them. Even if they only do things that are good for corporations. But thats an intellectual problem, not an emotional one. You know it is bad, but you do not feel it in your gut.
