This article from the Atlantic about the cost of Evangelicals supporting Trump is completely on point.

It also completely misses the fact that Evangelicals are inured to this sort of criticism because they will never see themselves as anything other than a persecuted minority. I mean, the entire source text is from the perspective of a persecuted minority.

I say that as a believing Christian.

To me, it's been up there for the most disappointing aspect of the Trump administration (and lord knows there have been a lot). The full throated acceptance by most Evangelicals. Let's just say that I'm much more fulfilled as ELCA than LCMS and that would go about doubly (a milliony) more during the last 3+ years.
