Donald Trump is not necessarily dragging America away from Christianity into some kind of neopaganism so much as he is wholly misrepresenting Christianity while dragging America to his brand of amorality. He doesn't bolster Christian values. He subverts them. He folds hate into policy.

The real war on Christianity.
"'A week ago, eight to ten churches asked for clergy to come and provide support to create a protective band so people could come to church, because dark-skinned people are afraid to come to church.'"

"Tired, broken down, and dilapidated"???
Maybe this guy and the one who said that, but not the Kennedy Center itself. One of the most elegant and beautiful venues in Washington. I guess Trump thinks it needs kitchy gold crap.

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.
