Calling the Trump campaign a dumpster fire is putting the situation mildly. Trump and his people are basically openly corrupt, they’re nepotistic, they’re incompetent, and they’re undignified. When they’re not too busy crapping the bed, they manage to do just enough right to please their base. And that’s where they have the Democrats beat, and …

They are therefore both religiously and ethnically different from the (officially) atheist Han majority.  China has done this before––it has actively pursued policies that “Sinicize” Tibet, who are both ethnically and religious different from the Han majority. According to the Chinese government, the Uighur––or at …
