1) Evangelical leaders wanted someone to represent just them in govt.
2) Somehow they found Trump, a guy who is not Christian and has never been. But, he sought uneducated people and believed American evangelicals fit that descriptive.
3) Evangelicals, like White-Cain, met with Trump and somehow they started saying Trump is a Christian Leader. Some Christians said he was probably not Christian but God was going to make him President anyway and would protect them.
4) Right wingers thirst for right wing power seized on Trump and many elevated him equal with Jesus. (Remember, Trump made a special outreach to the uneducated right wingers....He knew they would believe almost anything.....without realizing they would actually believe anything.
5) Maga became a cult based very loosely on Christianity, because, clearly, nationalism and Christianity do NOT mix. Christianity pays the price in any attempt to dilute it.
6) And here we are.
