... "Jesus 2020" campaign flags flapped in the wind alongside Trump banners and the stars and stripes ...

For some Christians, seeing religious symbols alongside Confederate flags was shocking ...

... around four-fifths of white evangelicals .. backed the Republican president.

... the opposite is true of black Christians ..

... some academics say "Christian nationalism" was .. support for .. Trump's campaign ...

"Let me tell you," he continued. "If Jesus Christ gets down off the cross and told me Trump is with Russia, I would tell him, hold on a second, I need to check with the president if it is true. That is how confident I feel in the president."

5. Yes, and without the "white evangelicals"...

... both Biden and Clinton won the "white vote" too.

The white evangelicals keep trying to return this country to the Dark Ages, or perhaps only back to the times of the Salem witch-hunts.

Evangelicals were already "pushy" even before their alliance with the GOP, feeling obligated to convert everyone else to THEIR WAY.

Live and let live? Nope, they can't do that!

Edit: And since conversion of others is so fundamental to them, it's insatiable! If everyone in this country magically adopted their current beliefs at the snap of a finger, that wouldn't end it. They'd then modify their cultural desires to create outsiders who need converted! Thus their ideas of "purity" continue to narrow, they will inevitably "eat their own", and they'll never be satisfied.

6. A white Texas pastor remarked in 2016

that Evanglicals are naturally attracted to an Autocrat.

They do not seek a leader...They seek a KING... just like Jesus.

A king takes away all of the gray area decisions that one must wrestle with in life. An authoritarian strongman (religious or political) defines right and wrong on all issues in binary terms. Followers trade freedoms and free will for the comfort of certainty and lack of responsibility for the choices ceded to the "king".

It is much harder to be a human living with ambiguities and uncertainties. The easy strategy is to turn over those difficult decisions about how to live your life to a strong cult-like leader who allows you to live as a child.

7. This is the group that needs to be excised from the body politic

Imagine where America would be right now if we didn't have that ball and chain dragging us back.
