1/It might be important for white evangelicals to, instead of trying to show how we're not guilty of trumpism, we ought to be asking why trumpism was able to exist & flourish in systems/institutions/denoms/churches/cultures that we have participated in & helped lead.
2/ In other words, if leaders and shepherds must give an account to Christ for who we lead (as Hebrew 13 says we will), then while we might not have spread conspiracy theories, attended rallies, or encouraged others to vote for him, why have so many under our leadership?
3/To take it one step further—You might not have been the wolf that's been feeding on the sheep, but have you forfeited your responsibility to protect the sheep? Were you afraid to point out the wolves? Have you been overly patient/comfortable w/nationalistic idolatry?
4/ The most evangelical thing we can do is be self-reflective and repentant where we need to be. Stop deflecting responsibility of Trumpism. If we are care more deeply about Trump being censored rather than what trumpism has exposed in us, we are in deep trouble.
