Topic: Christian Fascism

Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley discussed his theories on "Christian fascism" and the "federalizing" of Jim Crow-style policies. He argued that the targeting of immigrants and LGBTQ individuals is a hallmark of fascist movements intended to maintain the dominance of a specific group. Stanley also claimed that the Supreme Court has been altered to serve as a vehicle for far-right policy.

A new rhetorical trend emerged labeling Vice President Mike Pence and the administration's supporters as "Christian Fascists." Activists argue that the administration is attempting to merge church and state, creating a fundamentalist political structure that targets marginalized groups.
