There will always be a group of Christian Evangelicals who will never turn their backs on what is happening, that is for sure. But these people are not true Christians are they? They do not care about world suffering, they want authority in their homes, communities and politics. These are the people who wrote Project 2025. But those people aren't the reason he won, and those people will never be swayed away from their task.
There is also a steadfast group, like my sister, who may have never have stepped foot in a church and still thinks the Evangelical way of life that Trump has ushered in is acceptable to force on the rest of us. She, of course, probably wont be affected by the harm she voted to use against others until the very end.
The people that will change, and we are seeing is happen, is the true Christians are stepping up and saying, hey this isn't what Jesus preached. We voted for you because of the economy, but we are not OK with all of this. We are also seeing this happen in long term, steadfast Republicans who feel betrayed by the party. These are the people that will force change.
Sadly, their #1 reason for standing up and saying this is not right is the fact that they have been harmed economically by the aftermath of their vote. Let's hope they don't settle back into their old habits in 2028.
So sorry about your sister, unfortunately we don’t choose our relatives.
As for the evangelicals in the US, in the UK have often heard people say that at least people in the US are more religious than us, as if this is a good thing. What they don’t know is that these are not people who are like Church of England attendees having a summer fete to raise money for the church roof, they are involved at a political level and - I could be wrong here - hold far right opinions about gays inasmuch as they believe they should be ‘corrected’ etc., as well as women’s rights - inasmuch as they shouldn’t really have them.
Horrid immoral people.
