In 2011, 69% of evangelicals thought that an elected official who does not accurately report their income taxes should resign. 69% thought that a politician that uses their office to enrich their families should resign. 61% thought politicians should be held to a higher moral standard.
These polls are extremely telling, but we see it here everyday.
On a more serious note, as an evangelical myself, I can say that no group has disgusted me more than evangelicals with the emergence of Trump and Trumpism.
Almost made me drop the label of evangelical, but I’ve decided someone needs to stay in the group and remind them what the Bible actually says.
Yeah, some people think politicians have the ability to change how society behaves.
If you really think about it, the Religious Right has spectacularly failed in the past forty years despite having a lot of political power.
Church attendance is down. Homosexuality is more accepted than it has ever been. Pornography has exploded and is obviously a passion for conservatives’ current favorite politician.
Yes social engineering from the left, society is a petri dish sprinkle a little culture here a little there worked out well in most countries a good example was former Yugoslavia.
Quite a few republicans have crowed about it in the past, making it a no brainer to bring up the hypocrisy attacks. It works too, as far as scoring political points in the media goes. Somehow that is supposed to equate to more votes. I suppose it does among the unwashed masses of undecideds.
