4. Many of them supported Reagan, but not at this level

and the idealism that existed in the churches, which are predominantly white and prosperous, was compatible with Reaganism. What's happening now is that the principles are being removed and Trumpism is taking their place. Maybe it has always been headed this way, but the depth and scope of this hijacking is at the denial level. And I don't think there would have been any recognized Evangelical leaders in the 1980's that would have endorsed or defended a January 6th event.
