I appreciate this deep dive into the crisis of White Evangelical Christianity in the Trump era but it’s not that complicated. Trump has exposed the racism that has always existed just under the surface of White Evangelical Christianity. Want proof?

It's absolutely about race. White Evangelical Christians have long embraced the Klan, especially here in GA. Hell, the guy who revived the GA KKK in the 20's was a Methodist minister, for Pete's sake.

This is where the longstanding rift between the Catholic and White Evangelical factions in the GOP's antichoice wing has been made even wider. (Catholics tending to have more non-Anglo ethnicities.) The White Evangelicals aren't "pro-life" if the lives belong to nonwhites.

Don’t the percentages that Aslan quotes show that people are grouping themselves by skin color?

Black people tend to vote Democratic, like 90%. The 68% shows that they break with racial norms to vote for Trump. You are peddling hatred, douche bag.
