And as I mentioned, this is not new. Evangelicals loved George W Bush. A guy who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the middle east over "faulty intelligence". Supported the torture of individuals. Then made drastic cuts in health care, mental health, and child care for poor people because he needed to make up the gap for his tax cuts for the rich. He let an American city fend for itself after a natural disaster.
They also got behind Ronald Reagan, who was actually not religious at all. He ignored atrocities around the world and armed our enemies. Initiated the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government. Supported Apartheid in South Africa, created Al-Qaeda, and let farmers lose their livelihoods and joked about it. And of course completely ignored AIDS and joked about how it was killing the right people.
Evangelicals are the most morally bankrupt people in this country who have nothing in common with the tenets of Christianity. They use it as cover to hate and oppress people. They didn't sell out for Trump, they've been selling out for hundreds of years in this country.
