Fascism & the Christian Right
Editors Note: The topic of Fascism & the Christian Right is a valid and worrying topic. The view of Abby Martin and Chris Hedges adding President Trump into the discussion is foolish because it is based on nothingness. I understand some of the issues and complaints regarding certain appointments that President Trump has made but the leap to the administration backing Fascism is not based on facts or alternative facts.
