Erickson, Graham, Robertson and others are not breaking ranks. They will never break ranks. Trump is precisely the kind of president they want. He is an authoritarian nihilist through and through. So are they.
Too uncharitable? I don’t think so.
Because evangelical Christians are Trump’s most loyal supporters, they get the lion’s share of attention. In doing so, mainstream reporters inadvertently give the impression that these Christians are the only ones that matter.
One, there’s not enough scrutiny of evangelical Christians *as Christians.* A closer look suggests they have scandalously strayed from God’s path, as they would have it.
But we never talk about it that way.
