A lot of coastal liberals have been shaking their heads at evangelicals these days.
How, they ask, could over 80 percent of white evangelical Christians have voted for a vulgar, boastful, sexual-abuse-bragging serial adulterer married to a former nude model? Let alone the race-baiting, the biblical ignorance (“Two Corinthians”), the fraud, the tax-dodging, the cheating of business partners, and the promise to bring back torture.
The usual answer—which I provided here a couple of weeks ago—is the Supreme Court, which several well-known evangelical leaders say trumps any other concerns Christians might have with the now president-elect. Between the court and Mike Pence’s leadership on social issues, white evangelicals are focused on their core issues. And besides, maybe Franklin Graham was right that Trump found God during the election season.
