Why did so many evangelicals turn out to vote for Donald Trump, a serial philanderer with questionable conservative credentials who seems to defy Christian values with his every utterance? To a reporter like Sarah Posner, who has been covering the religious right for decades, the answer turns out to be far more intuitive than one might think.
In this taut inquiry, Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right to reveal how issues of white supremacy and xenophobia have always been at the movement’s core, and how religion often cloaked anxieties about perceived threats to a white, Christian America. Fueled by an antidemocratic impulse, and united by this narrative of reverse victimization, the religious right and the alt-right support a common agenda–and are actively using the erosion of democratic norms to roll back civil rights advances, stock the judiciary with hard-right judges, defang and deregulate federal agencies, and undermine the credibility of the free press. Increasingly, this formidable bloc is also forging ties with European far right groups, giving momentum to a truly global movement.
Revelatory and engrossing, Unholy offers a deeper understanding of the ideological underpinnings and forces influencing the course of Republican politics. This is a book that must be read by anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.

So they’ll publish anything these days, huh?

Down with Orange Hitler!
June 13th, 2020
What garbage lol
June 13th, 2020
Naah, Hitler was loyal to his allies.

Wow. You guys must listen to your audiobooks really, really fast. This post can’t have been up more than a few minutes, and you’ve already digested the material and turned out such thoughtful responses. Such erudition.

What is it that really makes these weak kneed leftists go insane? Having a viewpoint they can’t assail with a logical argument. Leftists are afraid of humiliation on a broader stage of life so they must destroy any viewpoint that does not perfectly align with theirs. The actions of 3yo temper tantrum but with the strength of an older body. Bring it soyboys!

Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and OKed annexation of the West Bank but she’s still not happy.
June 13th, 2020
Should be interesting. One of the stranger aspects of American culture is the idea that Christians would support someone like Trump (even if the abortion issue put them off Democrats too).
June 13th, 2020
@illodiini - not to Röhm and his SA chums. When Röhm was arrested during the Night of the Long Knives, he was convinced that Hitler had been taken as well. Stalin, when he hear about the night of betrayals & murders, said “that’s how it’s done.” He remained an admirer of Hitler until he himself was double-crossed by Barbarossa.
@UncapedCrusader - It’s a fairly international principle that people support the party they deem the least worst. Trump received a mandate from the Evangelicals because the alternative apparently appalled them.
Although, contrary to this book’s thesis, as a result of the most recent “racial” crisis, and Trump’s mishandling of it, his support amongst Evangelicals & all Christians has understandably declined. Election year may perforce reverse this yet again.

“heard!”

lakealex07 - from where I stand, you people are the “soft boys” and don’t ruin the name of a brilliant band. No. Leftists like fairness. That’s what we want. You people don’t understand hypocrisy, or seemingly, much of anything. You just believe what you are told to believe. It sure is funny how the right wing view of what Jesus is all about has changed since Trump came to “power”. Talk about soft. You can’t say anything without upsetting him. Thin skinned, snowflake to the bone.
If you think Trump is a good example of an ideal Christian, you are probably mentally retarded…. or, you’re in a cult. Which is the fact of it. Trump could start bringing children into the rose garden and then raping and killing them on live TV and you would continue to worship him. He is your god. A sad, bunker baby, whose own wife blackmailed him and got millions more. She got what she wanted easily and she’s not a businessperson . Talk about Art Of The Deal. And in the case in which he is currently being sued for rape, despite the fact he’s been seen holding a few swabs lately, he claims it’s too “burdensome” to rub one on the inside of his cheek to provide DNA. If he can’t handle rubbing a swab on the inside of his cheek, he surely can’t handle being the president. Not that we need more evidence to prove that.

Trump hate is popular. In that context, well done.
The sky is falling is what the left wants us to believe, they are the ones who are dividing the country, false Russian collusion, impeachment, letting anyone in to the country, protecting criminals in sanctuary cities. In order to vote democrat you either hate this country or you are a fool.
June 13th, 2020
CaptainZero - Where exactly are you standing? In your mothers basement in your underwear? Please spare me your incompetent ignorance. Leftist want to erase history and write it in their own image. You are after fairness??? Is that why your people are burning down black neighborhoods and destroying the businesses that employ the people and help feed them? That’s fairness??? Grow up child. Take a good look around at the misery your “people” are creating. You want to know what your leftist dreamworld is really like? Move to Venezuela or Cuba, or China. Then tell me what the real utopia is.

Notice how most of the Trump critiques comes from one group of people? They couldn’t care less about Trump, they fear the people he represents.
June 13th, 2020
This is not something I would listen to, but I appreciate sartre100 for uploading.
Nobody is changing any minds here. It would be much better if folks from both sides would just not download the books they don’t like, and move on.
June 13th, 2020
It must be comfortable to think that all who oppose, well, everything Trump does, are leftist.
June 13th, 2020
@caesar963 Exactly, we could stand to have compassion for each other for sharing the same position: we have to choose the lesser of two evils, or we’re brainwashed into thinking we do. I don’t want Biden either, but what choice do I have?

@james - There’s a lot of “othering” going on, here, there & everywhere. That process has the dubious virtue of precluding the notoriously difficult thinking function. It benefits vested interests to continue to divide and conquer. When we’re filled with hot emotion, no rational evaluation takes place. It’s reminiscent of a good ole witch-hunt, from the prior days of our yesteryears.
People may still determine the most effective course in terms of realising their best interests. We just don’t like the “others’” conclusions. In the context of party politics, we have to remember that a huge proportion of people are disengaged, do not vote, do not even register.
My brother lives in California, and is in a similar position to you - he does vote, detests Trump, but couldn’t bring himself to vote for either Presidential candidate in 2016. He saw it as more of an electoral suicide-pact rather than a genuine exercise of the franchise (a voluntary, ritual “hanging” of a chad?). A parody of democratic choice. He did vote down the ticket, however - just not for any “elector” who would do the unthinkable.

Christians, unlike the Left, are realists, they know that no politician is going to be Jesus.
So if you vote you pick the guy who at least makes sense, and, now that he’s proven himself, pick him again for a second term despite the hypocritical maunderings of people like the author, who thinks the unborn are non-persons.
I’m not taking lectures from anyone who views the unborn the way Hitler viewed Jews.

chrisziii said, “Christians are realists”. This comes from people who believe in a magical man in the sky who watches everything you do and will send you to the fires of hell if you piss him off. Its past time Christians get their heads out of the dark ages and realize their religion is based on myth and superstition with no proof at all. Hypocrites
June 14th, 2020
chrisxiii, if you think trump “makes sense” and has “proven himself” (other than proving he’s a conniving moral-less loonie who is only out for his interests), He gives less of a crap about your “unborn babies” than he does about being honest, in other words, none, he’s just using you and the simple-minded rally-attenders to get himself in power. He was known, before politics, for using every means possible…numerous bankruptcies, refusing to pay people after their job was finished, his phony “university”, and being a mental buffoon, and he proves it repeatedly as our country slides into the disaster that he himself built, while he watches TV and tweets garbage. Rather than help you gain what you want ss supposed christians, he is dragging you into his bottom-feeding world of hate and disorder.
June 14th, 2020
I don’t think that’s the correct analysis. I would submit that whether or not Trump cares about the killing of the unborn is immaterial. What matters are his judicial appointments. If he delivers, they will vote for him. His opponent will reverse such measures as he can. Politicians care about votes. Everyone seems to be using everyone else to get what they want. Y’know, politics as per.
This may be the pragmatic realism to which chris referred.

Greatest president ever.
June 14th, 2020
Damn straight. He’s an asshole, but he’s OURS! I stand with any president that stands for me
June 15th, 2020
The only thing Trump stands for is hatred. Any “Christian” who supports him has never read the Gospels (as of course, Trump never has, could not cite a Bible verse to save his life).
June 16th, 2020
More Jewish nonsense.
June 16th, 2020
Politics is a necessarily flawed mechanism; because we are flawed, our institutions will be accordingly flawed. Every voter knows that it is the art of compromise, whose artisans are imperfect, to say the very least. For all Christians, even the “Christian” cohort, life is the ne plus ultra, paramount to all other considerations. Or, it “trumps” everything else.
The Evangelicals will maintain that the issue of the killing of the most vulnerable supersedes all other concerns. Even the issue of the appalling, hateful, expedient character of Trump. It’s just ubiquitous realpolitik, operating in the usual.

America doesn’t have so much of an “evangelical problem” as much as a “Jewish problem”.
