Racism, Ecophobia, Misogyny, Homophobia: Trump Regime Imposes Theocracy to Reward Fanatical Christian Supporters

RESEARCH REPORT: TRUMP/PENCE POLICIES AND APPOINTMENTS CONFIRM THE UNPRECEDENTED TRIUMPH OF WHITE CHRISTIAN TYRANNY. We are all depressingly familiar with the ever-lengthening litany of Trump Regime atrocities against women, racial minorities, LGBTQ people and the environment. What most of us have yet to recognize – largely because mainstream media has obscured it – is how the normalization of bigotry and ignorance fostered by these atrocities is a rightfully terrifying, perhaps pivotal victory in the fanatical white Christians' 82-year campaign to reduce the United States to zero-tolerance theocracy.
