It's here to stay. We have to figure out how to deal with it.
Christian Nationalism is Authentically Christian ' And According to a New Poll Most White Evangelicals are Supporters
I've belabored the point here at RD before, and it's worth stating again: the political activities and ideology were an integral part of our religion, just as our Christian faith informed and infused our rabid right-wing politics. American evangelicals are socialized via homeschooling, Christian schools, churches, and the subculture in general to apply the Bible and Christian teachings to every aspect of their lives. That includes attempting to implement a theocratic policy agenda, so that our nation might be 'blessed' for its 'obedience to God's authority.'
It's been frustrating watching pundits actively struggle not to understand this over the last few years. Not wanting to face that White evangelical support for Donald Trump does, and always did, make perfect sense with respect to White evangelicals' version of the Christian faith, many have clung'against the available evidence'to the corollary notions that 'real' Christians could never be authoritarians and insurrectionists, and that Trump-loving Christian nationalists must not darken the doors of churches very often. The data tell a very different story.
