12. The evangelicals we're talking about have always been white nationalists

For every hundred evangelicals hostile to the Civil Rights Movement, there were zero evangelicals who supported it (just about). They don't seem to be keen on interracial marriage. They vote mostly for white candidates who believe white lives matter first. They espouse the notion of Christian nationalism which is simply white nationalism with a sanitized name.

Trump just completely exposed them.
