White evangelical voters show steadfast support for Donald Trump's presidency

Trump’s strongest supporters among evangelical leaders can likely expect the kind of White House access they had in the first Trump term.

After former President Donald Trump gave his victory speech early Wednesday, at the Palm Beach Convention Center, dozens of his supporters gathered in a lobby to sing “How Great Thou Art,” reciting from memory the words and harmonies of a classic hymn, popular among evangelical Christians.

It was a fitting coda to an election in which Trump once again won the support of about 8 in 10 white evangelical Christian voters, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters. That margin — among a group that represented about 20% of the total electorate — repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that T rump received in 2020.

    Makes sense to me. If you lack the critical thinking skills to see the contradictions in the fairy tales the Bible serves up, you’re likely to miss the fact that the guy paying lip service to ‘Christian values’ is the antithesis to said values.
