Status Updates From Unholy: Why White Evangelic...

The conditions that first brought T to power & later led to the complete Rep capitulation to his whims were set in motion by two religious & pol transformations of the 1970s: the sprawling pol & ideological infrastructure Paul Weyrich built in the wake of Watergate & the proliferation of televangelism & its marriage to Rep politics.

For T’s evang supporters def him became indistinguishable from def white Chr Am

T not only gives voice to the Chr right’s perceived loss of religious dominance, he pounds away at grievences over white book losing ground to black& brown ppl & immigrants, of men losing ground to women, of originality judges under the Sam way of liberal intruders demanding “special” rights.

Overall #s of white evang are dropping, T’s presidency has given them new life as most influential pol demographic in Am

See him not as sinner but a strongman not a con man but a king corageously unshackling them from liberal oppression
