USA: Trump and Evangelical Christianity Are An American Disgrace - by Shannon Ashley

What was once the inspiring dream of living in America has now become a living nightmare. But guess what? I am not surprised. Our country has been ripped apart by a white evangelical Christian agenda: power at any price. And a price paid by anyone but them.
