I would also quibble about "evangelical". While evangelical is considered synonymous with Trump supporters who are bigoted and hateful, there are evangelicals who are more socially liberal and try to "evangelize" using the approach directed by the beatitudes, where Christians are commanded to be of service to others. It is a smaller group but it exists.
I tend to use the phrases, Fundamentalists or Christian Dominionists to more accurately describe the type of people who fall in line with Trump and Conservatives. They aren't seeking to make the world a better place. They are seeking the supremacy of their way of thinking. They want to impose their particular views onto everyone else. Once a Christian fascism is imposed, they would undoubtedly turn on each other and the coalition of Catholic groups and many Protestant denominations would crumble into infighting because again, it is not about being "Christian" or spreading Christianity, it is about being IN POWER.
