Original: When is the right time to compare US politics to the Nazi era? This expert on Christian nationalism says: now By David S
Robert P. Jones, an expert on Christian nationalism, argues that the moment for comparing US politics to the Nazi era has arrived. Writing in The Guardian, he contends that declining white Christian influence in America has fuelled an alliance with Donald Trump that is reshaping US democracy. His warning adds to a growing debate over how far historical analogies apply to the current political moment.
