New Study: Evangelicals Continue Supporting Trump Because of Christian Nationalism

Charles, per the headline of this article, I could’ve told you that subjectively. You know my story and my experiences with fishfolk and my family’s friends back home in fish country. I keep saying that evangelicals vote for Republicans because they view the GOP as the “Party of God”, and that’s not an exaggeration. Because of the Southern Strategy and how the Republicans were able to pivot and capture the attention of the evangelicals, they have now secured a fanatical power base that will vote for them literally no matter what they do. They can literally do no wrong, because at the end of the day, the Republicans are seen as “more Christian” (in the aggregate) than the Democrats, and thus they are the party to vote for in order to ensure their theocracy-on-earth comes to pass.

The worst part about all of that diatribe is, it’s literally the last thing Jesus would want.
