Kindle Notes & Highlights
evangelical support for Trump was no aberration, nor was it merely a pragmatic choice. It was, rather, the culmination of evangelicals’ embrace of militant masculinity, an ideology that enshrines patriarchal authority and condones the callous display of power, at home and abroad.

More than any other religious demographic, white evangelicals see immigrants in a negative light.
