BUT BROKEN PROMISES AND THE PRICE OF EGGS: think something progressives and democrats might not realize about evangelical MAGAs is how conditioned they are to accept broken promises. When evangelical Trump supporters chose a president who promised to take their personal worries seriously, they were choosing in accordance to their faith. This me-based faith is a feature of evangelical culture. Believers are encouraged to ask God for “anything that’s on your heart,” from a prime parking space, to a promotion, to a new jet (in the case of celebrity pastors.) Anyone outside of this culture can see how me-based faith underscores the contrast between the “haves” and “have-nots.” It may sound self-centered to your ears. Rather than awareness or repentance, the evangelical response is an invitation. Outsiders are welcome to join them. Then, you too, can have access to a savior who cares about your personal needs. The problem is evidence. When Donald Trump was sworn into office, and did not place his hand on the Bible and signed nearly 100 executive orders on the first day and none of these orders addressed eggs, groceries, prices, affordable housing, or any other personal need of the average evangelical MAGA supporter...Democrats and progressives might expect evangelical MAGAs to feel disappointed or disillusioned. Maybe they’ll realize he doesn’t care about them at all? But that’s just another day in the life for them.
