1. "As has been the case for the last four decades, when the political parties began sorting themselves along ethno-religious lines in the wake of the Civil Rights movement, the largest voting divides among Christian voters are marked by racial and ethnic identity."

White evangelicals remain Trump's staunchest supporters, with 85% voting for him in 2024, along with some 6 in 10 white Catholics and white mainline Protestants.

The only non-white Christian voting bloc supporting Trump are Latino Protestants, almost all evangelicals. By contrast, a majority of Latino Catholics voted for Harris along with an overwhelming majority of Black Protestants.

2. "There is no evidence to support what I have identified as two 'zombie myths' (because they just won’t die despite lack of evidence) about white evangelical voters: 1) that they were reluctant Trump voters; or 2) that Trump’s strongest supporters in this group were Christians-in-name-only (CINO)."

White Christians vote ardently, not reluctantly, for Trump. The more churchgoing they are, the more ardent they are about him.

White Christians own this Trump presidency as they owned his 2016 Trump presidency. And whatever happens with this presidency, including promised massive cruelty to immigrants and LGBTQ people, they'll own every bit as much as they, a majority of them, owned (but refuse to admit) their defense of slavery, their support of Jim Crow barbarity, and their opposition to civil rights for people of color.
