It is reported that in a harangue in Iowa Trump declared that “Marxists and fascists” are “going hard” against Catholics. I think Trump was a bit mixed up here. Yes, Marxists have always had it in for Catholics, and fascists have in the past persecuted some Catholics. But nowadays reactionaries in the American Catholic church and American fascists seem to be allies, much in the same way as Pseudoevangelicals and the Republican Party.
