Trump and the Christian Fascists
Donald Trump’s ideological vacuum, the
more he is isolated and attacked, is being filled by the Christian
right. This Christianized fascism, with its network of megachurches,
schools, universities and law schools and its vast radio and television
empire, is a potent ally for a beleaguered White House. The Christian
right has been organizing and preparing to take power for decades. If
the nation suffers another economic collapse, which is probably
inevitable, another catastrophic domestic terrorist attack or a new war,
President Trump’s ability to force the Christian right’s agenda on the
public and shut down dissent will be dramatically enhanced. In the
presidential election, Trump had 81 percent of white evangelicals behind him.
