I need to read a deep dive into white Evangelical women. Recommend articles and books, TwitterLand? If there aren’t any books specifically about them, someone go out there and write a book about these #FootsoldiersOfThePatriarchy!

I’ve been obsessed with these women as #FootsoldiersOfThePatriarchy - Trump, Roy Moore, etc - they consistently vote overwhelmingly for white Supremacist patriarchy

I would like all those political scientists who studied & dissected women of the Muslim Brotherhood, how they uphold & enable a system vs their interests, to similarly study & dissect these white Christian women voters in US.They helped elect a sexual predator to White House, etc

I’ve been ranting about white Evangelical women and the need to scrutinize them in same way as Muslim Brotherhood women for a while now. e.g. this from last year
