Is the torrid love affair between the amoral and depraved Donald Trump and the sanctimonious and craven white evangelicals over? Are evangelicals at the point in their illicit relationship with the Antichrist figure where they are smoking a cigarette in bed after their latest sexual tryst and fantasizing of new lovers?
Religious conservatives got what they wanted from Donald Trump’s presidency, and now a few evangelical leaders are moving on. They are exceedingly grateful to the former president for his judicial appointments, which resulted in finally obtaining the holy grail, the overturning of Roe v Wade. And they are overjoyed at his decision to move the U.S embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, but are they finally growing tired of Trump’s never-ending chaos and confusion, and contemplating new, younger and more virile lovers like Ron DeSantis and Mike Pompeo?
Evangelical leaders are pragmatic and they won’t think twice about trading their obese septuagenarian lover, for a newer and sleeker model. But their parishioners, who line their pockets, are still enthralled with their Orange Messiah. This is a case where the evangelical ministers will follow the lead of their congregations, instead of the other way around, and I don’t see any mass defections from evangelical leaders.
It will take a power greater than the Holy Ghost to pry white evangelical followers apart from their sexual union with Donald Trump.
