Maybe I'm even more cynical, but it feels like us evangelical christianity is being used as a tool. A gullible fool.

So all these old gheezers are vaguely pushing for a US Christian nationalism... But coronated someone who doesn't really care about that beyond how they can elect him, and basically shoved their values out the the party's window.

And US youth is increasingly less Christian. Including Trump supporting youth.

So... I'm not even worried about this long term, relative to everything else to worry about. There will be short term scares, but post Trump Trumpism is not going to be very religious.

Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation would like a word. Or not. They do better when no one pays attention to them.

You have to be gullible to become an evangelical in the first place.

Orange man indeed doesn't care.
It's the people whispering in his ear that are pushing their brand of Christianity(TM) to positions of power.

Evangelical Christianity has absolutely been used as a political tool for the past generation.
