That is an accurate assessment.

I would suggest to the contrary, that Evangelical Christian support for Trump is based on his policies. Evangelical Christians, like myself, were highly skeptical of Trump's conservatism until he put forth his source list for SCOTUS nominations. Never have I seen a President (since Ronald Reagan) fight so hard for the security and safety of the American people, especially at the Southern border.
I also found it shocking to think that only now, with Trump, are Evangelical Christians being represented even though they represent the single biggest block of voters in this country. The assertion that there is something wrong with a very large block of voters being represented in a democracy is an astounding assertion from Zeek.
