White Evangelicals Will Collapse
They will become marginalized and irrelevant... https://baptistnews.com/article/last...4#.Xg4CAEdKiUk

In short, the Trump-evangelical relationship is a marriage of convenience. In fact, it’s more a hook-up than a marriage.Originally Posted by katzgar
In response, aging white evangelicals have doubled down on the myth of American righteousness.
It reminds me of “Last Call”, a recurring “Saturday Night Live” sketch. Kate McKinnon plays Sylvia Sovage, a burned-out lounge lizard who propositions the last guy remaining in Donnelly’s Fine Food and Spirits at closing time. The guy du jour is every bit as unappealing and desperate as Ms. Sovage, but neither party wants to go home alone.
“Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” one character asks Sovage. “And, I assume, you landed on your face?” The dialogue is all downhill (way downhill) from there.
The bartender, played by Kenan Thompson, tries his best to usher the couple out the door with a dismissive remark: “Just seal the deal so I can power-wash your seats.” But the mutual desperation of his repulsive customers carries the day.
The coalition of Trump and conservative, white evangelicals is fueled by simple desperation
Like the biblical Samson, Trump will eventually bring the entire edifice of American conservatism crashing down around him. Some (sub) species of evangelical religion will ultimately rise from the rubble, but it will be greatly curtailed, politically irrelevant

This country is goofy. I could never be a politician. I'm too honest. I can't pretend people aren't misinformed idiots.
The human commonality is the essential needs list. The path of the right is the most ignorant. They are uneducated, uninformed and wholly unsuited for
governing to maximize human safety, comfort and happiness. A path designed to maximize freedom where only the freewheeling wealthy are
technically equipped to exploit it, is a societal traffic jam. The ancient Greeks would even laugh.

The collapse of the right wing evangelicals will be a blessing for this country.
