For white evangelicals who have embraced Trump’s racist worldview, the brown-skinned Jesus of the Bible is missing this Advent. He’s not safe in their sanctuaries. And he’s certainly not incarnate in the lit up plastic white baby Jesus in their nativity scenes.

The third fascistic tactic to watch out for is their tendency to label anyone they disagree with who is to their left "a Communist." Fascists claim that they alone can save their nations from "the communist menace." Anyway, the 2024 GOP platform contains the phrase "Christ-hating communists."
