A speaker tonight said that Trump as the 'defender of western civilization". I guess that would be open to many interpretations, but to me it would mean defender of white society. It would include only those of white European decent and their civilization and would not include all of the diverse civilizations that have gone into making the America today.

Yes, it's a dog whistle phrase for whitewashing any anti-third world history, and continued bigotry and exploitation. It's just a rallying cry based on lies as usual, the 'you're under attack and we save you' propaganda.
Trump's theme since he descended the escalator has been that the barbarians are at the gates. He found an approach worked for him, the fear of "the other," the culmination of the so-called southern strategy, and parlayed that into an electoral college victory. Time (a few months) will tell if that still works, but his fascist style won't be adopted by republicans once he passes from the scene, be that in five months or five years. He is an aberration.
