Right Wing Extremism, Threatening America

 THE REPUBLICAN PARTY  is the white Christian party, as evidenced by its membership. It is the home of traditional conservative values, white Christian values. The party is the home of right wing extremists, defenders of America's most traditional values, not necessarily virtuous values. Trump, who may or may not end up in prison, is still being given credit by conservatives for keeping out those illegal immigrants, those brown colored Mexicans and Muslims. His extreme right wing supporters proved their loyalty by staging the most effective attack on the U.S. Capitol building since the War of 1812. Trump is a "Christian" to whatever extent enhances his fame and fortune, and his political goals, and gets him on television in front of a large audience. Trump, like his white christian supporters, prefers immigrants from Norway, as he said, to those brown skinned immigrants from mexico and, as he put it, "shit hole" countries of Africa. Racism, a modern illness, is deeply rooted within the christian faith, and deeply rooted within the conservative movements of both major political parties in America, Republican and Democrat. It is modern conservatism which promotes climate change denial, science denial, and unfettered corporate capitalism, all of which contribute to America's current maladies.Worst of all, it is the far right, in particular the evangelical christian right, eighty two percent of whom voted for trump, which is responsible for giving him the presidency, and the criminality which went with it.The reason why all the white supremacist racist organizations and individuals strongly support Trump, and that reason is they sense a strong common kindred spirit with  a man who has been known to be a racist most of his life. There are signs of hope. Science and progress flourish, despite efforts by Trump to discredit them. There are signs that the Trump movement in the post Trump era is fragmenting, and that new political leaders will soon replace him among American conservatives. The millennial generation, which never did give Trump much support, is now moving into a dominant position in American politics and culture. When Trump's impeachment trial is over, no matter what the outcome, he will probably fade into the background of American politics, never again to regain influence. This in itself is progress.
