Christian nationalism the common thread in Dump Evangelicals

This article highlights a study that said Christian nationalism is that thread. (Otherwise known as Christian ISIS.) It explains well how Evangelicals can support Dump despite the latter behaving against every one of their religious injunctions.

"Christian nationalism is an ideology that fuses Christians’ love of God and country. It hinges on the narrative that the United States has a special covenant with the Christian God. This ideology has emerged at various times in U.S. history, but a distinct, aggressive iteration seems to have materialized in the Trump era, according to a Think Progress report. This most recent version rejects secular society and seeks to restore America’s identity as a “Christian nation” by leveraging Christians’ influence in the public sphere. Some of Trump’s strongest evangelical supporters believe the president was divinely chosen by God to help them achieve the goal of a Christian nation."

“For Christian nationalists, the end goal is a society that favors Christianity in various aspects and at a number of institutional levels. How that project is achieved is of little consequence to them. They believe God can use anyone, ‘even a thrice married, non-pious, self-proclaimed public playboy,’ as we say in the paper.”
