NBC is pure trash, but you probably already knew that. Now they have decided to mock white Christians. The article (released just two days before the White Settlement church shooting) mocks white Christians as having anxiety over losing “dominance.” That anxiety is what leads those white Christians to support POTUS Trump. Sleepy eyes Chuck Todd must be so proud of his network.

On Friday, NBC News published an opinion piece that mocked white Christians in America, saying that their anxiety over losing dominance in America has “created a nostalgia for the past that has fueled support for Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda.”
Robert P. Jones, the founder of PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) and the author of “The End of White Christian America,” is about to launch his new book, titled, “White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity. He wrote on the NBC News website in a piece titled, “White Christian America ended in the 2010s,” “Of all the changes to identity and belonging, the century’s second decade has been particularly marked by a religious sea change. After more than two centuries of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant dominance, the United States has moved from being a majority-white Christian nation to one with no single racial and religious majority.”
Jones writes that between 2010 and 2014, the percentage of white Christians in the general population had plunged from 53% to 47%; claiming that in 2019, that figure has dropped to 42%. He continues, “White Christian America’s attraction to Trump has little to do with his personality or character … and everything to do with something more important: their belief that ‘making America great again’ necessarily entails restoring white Christian demographic and political dominance.”
