The Grotesque Caricature of the White Evangelical is real

Most are apoplectic about the White Evangelical durable and cultlike support for Donald Trump. Some see their current morality as a self-serving new thing to get the judges they want. The evil emanating from their movement is neither new nor should it be surprising.

On a regular basis, this newspaper and other liberal media give headlines about President Donald Trump’s language or his past two marriages (“Evangelical values: Contradictions, indeed,” Readers Write, April 14, responding to “Tension between church, Trump,” front page, April 8). These articles are presented in the hope that the conservative, evangelistic voters will change parties in any upcoming elections and shame Trump from office. Of course, the writers of these stories are “without sin” in their lives. Let me state it very clearly, and I believe I speak for most of these conservatives. We don’t care about his past or his language. We care only what he has done since taking office and if he is fulfilling his campaign promises. He speaks for us and acts for us. He has our support.

The Evangelical Movement is but a Fascist Political System determined to hijack America for their own means.

The others just want to tell everybody else how to live by the Bible without doing so themselves.
