Why do so many evangelical Christians support former President Donald Trump despite his decades of documented ungodly behavior?

An in-depth report from The Economist shows that it has a simple explanation: They believe that God personally appointed him to rule the United States.

In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump "was anointed by God to become president."

White Christian Conservatives are one of the most scary things out there. Those fuckers are twisted, hateful and dellutional.

They are all of that. But they aren't 30 percent of the country. The actual study maths to about 6 percent. 21 percent of weekly church going Protestants. (Who are about 30 percent of the country.)
