"The system of white evangelicalism and the whole evangelical industrial complex is working as designed to maintain and to support the power of empire baptized in a shallow theology and baptized in Christian iconography. It is working as designed. And I think the reason that I'm more convinced of that than ever is that white evangelicals have been polled since Trump got elected last year."

"They've had the opportunity as a voting block to tell people that actually we regret our decisions. But in September of 2025, 77% of white evangelicals polled approved of the job Trump was doing in the first 100 days of office or however many days it was."

"That group was the highest religious group out of any group to give approval to Trump. So no, this is not a bug, friends. We are a decade into Trump. The white evangelical complex is acting as expected. It is doing the job it was designed to do."

@wdlindsy Yeah, my grandma was an evangelical and that probably predisposed me to think of them as people with toxic but sincerely-held beliefs, people who did real harm but who did it in service to sincere and deeply-held values.

So it's been a bit of an adjustment for me, too, to see that nah, they don't have any core values except supremacy. Or at least 77% of them don't.

I was raised in the Christian church, and from a young age, I was taught that whites were inherently superior to Blacks, that men were inherently superior to women, that "Christians" were inherently superior to everyone else. That "others" were inherently evil.

None of this matched what Jesus taught in the four gospels.

When I was a senior in high school, I left the church. I couldn't stand the hate and hypocrisy.
