As the United States edges closer to authoritarianism shrouded in Christian imagery, a concerning reality has emerged: many white evangelical Christians have forsaken traditional doctrine and constitutional ideals for a political savior—Donald J. Trump. Predominantly comprising over 80% Caucasian congregants, this demographic’s steadfast loyalty to Trump has instigated both a spiritual crisis and a constitutional dilemma. In early 2025, Trump's non-committal response to upholding the Constitution drew no backlash from his evangelical supporters, highlighting a troubling trend of complicity. Esteemed Christian leaders now celebrate this epoch as a new spiritual awakening, merging political allegiance with faith. Current data reveals a disconcerting trust in Trump, suggesting a troubling intersection of faith and idolatry, obscuring core Christian values of humility and justice. The church's silence on these moral issues speaks volumes.
