White evangelicals’ fascination with Trump won’t be the last time a large subset of the American public becomes enthralled by an authoritarian and incompetent politician.
Ironically, Christians always complain about the hate they are getting from "the world."
In reality, Christians just need to get out of bed with the Republican Party. Most people don't hate Christians or any other religious group for that matter, but many people hate the Republican Party. With evangelicals being in something of a symbiotic relationship with the Republican Party, they are hated by proxy.
