Foreign Minister Marco Rubio always appears as a scrambled dog when he is in public places, especially about his boss, Donald Trump, prompting many observers to assume that he is a hesitant participant in the authoritarian agenda of the White House. Before Maga went completely, Rubio had determined himself on a discount of the authoritarian repression that Trump hosted. He even used to pretend that his family migrated to Cuba to flee the dictatorship of Fidel Castro, and find a shelter in the United States, “welcomed the most sympathetic to the ground.” A beautiful story, but it is incorrect, as they migrated before Castro Going to power. However, it inspires hope in some that Rubio knows his collusion with Trump’s fascist designs wrongly.
All that is in his heart, although there can be no denial that Rubio pays some of the most aggressive policies that attack the protection of the first amendment for freedom of expression and freedom of religion. Last week, The Associated Press revealed a memorandum signed by Rubio The announcement of the authority to deport legal immigrants on “beliefs, statements, or associations that are illegal otherwise.” Rubio support arrest The legal population to exercise their right to freedom of expression He was preoccupied with the abolition of the visas of hundreds of international students who committed any crime other than the incompatibility with Trump’s political views. one The student was not targeted for political reasonsBut it is researching biology, a field that the Trump administration is viewed with hostility.
Foreign Ministry employees are now learning what is like living under Rubio’s complete rejection of American mercy and the freedom he once claimed to admire her. Last week, Politico mentioned that Rubio sent a cable to all state employeesThey are asked to report the accused colleagues, “anti -Christian bias”. Even on his face, this arrangement is meaningless. There is no Christian hostility in the United States More than 60 % of Americans are Christians. Most of the rest are culturally Christians. The total percentage of people belonging to non-Christian-Jewish religions, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc-7 %. Some Christians may not like to interrogate their beliefs by atheists, but not only that freedom of expression is less aggressive than Christians who assert that atheists will go to hell. The actual cases of the anti -Christianity “bias” do not exist to the extent that the right -wing propaganda is Christian You should compensate stories to get their base.

It is not surprising, that a deeper reading of the cable shows that “anti -Christian bias” is the story of the cover supported to justify Rubio’s actual attack on freedom of religion in the state. It gives the agency’s Christian nationalists to a tool to harass and even cleanses people who are not shared by their far -right beliefs. It seems that the definitions of “anti -Christian bias” all the anger are that conservative Christians are expected to treat people who believe differently with fairness and fitness.
For example, The memo wants reports on “ill -treatment to display opposition to flagsSigns or any other tools, “specifically during the administration of President Joe Biden. It does not take a doctorate degree in bureaucrats to explain this.
It is also specific to it “Enti -Christian bias” claims abuse “Opposition to the content of the official media due to religious objections.” Under Biden, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs flew the science of prideThe validity of the passports of transit persons, and allowed LGBTQ employees to go out in the office, and expected that the employees used the correct name and pronouns for the crossing colleagues. Under this new policy, if the fanatical employees objected to these policies, they can now punish anyone who has been asked to provide a professional courtesy to co -workers. This is not a policy of combating discrimination, but it is a pro -discrimination policy. Even if a few people use it, there is an opportunity to leave some state employees, who are afraid to be targeted because they are gay or non -Christians, they will leave instead of living under this tension cloud.
To add to the Stasi effect, the TIP line provides a non -disclosure of its identity. So, if the Christian nationalities are angry because the person in the office next to them has its “conscience” to sign its email, they can report it about “hostile bias” without having to recognize what they did. What is ironic here is that because of the American population composition, most people who risk targeting by these authoritarian policies are either Christians or Christians grew up. But a large part of the MAGA project re-defining “Christians” only, provided that people who participate in the white, anti-feminine, anti-LGBTQ-and want to use strength to make everyone in queue.
The Trump administration experiences the use of wrong accusations of “anti -Semitism” or “gang activity” to arrest and deport migrants who are targeted only because they are non -white or non -Christians. on monday, Trump announced that the goal is to expand the network to “grow at home,“This means that he suggests detention camps for American citizens who are not proportional to Maga’s narrow definition of what is an American” real. ”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs SNITch may not go anywhere in its offices. This depends on both state employees alike with the fascist goals of the Trump administration and can turn into their co -workers, which may not be many. But regardless of the practical effects of politics, it should be seen as part of this fascist program that quickly widespread to punish and imprison people and even kill them for the “crime” of the inadequacy of a right -wing definition far from the “Christian”. One would not be recognized for Jesus Christ, whose followers called for the love of their neighbors and welcoming the stranger.
