In this episode, the Austere Religious Scholar discusses white Evangelical support for Donald Trump. 

We define the term "evangelical" and then show why the percentage of white Evangelicals that voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 was in line with historical support by white Evangelicals of Republican presidential candidates.

– We then discuss why white Evangelicals were singled out, ridiculed, and disparaged as well as the sanctimony behind the condemnations;

– We discuss why black Christians weren't held to the same moral and religious standards as their white Evangelical counterparts in their support for Barack Obama, despite him holding anti-biblical, anti-Christian beliefs;

– We speculate if Catholics who voted for Biden, despite him holding anti-Catholic beliefs– and being denied Communion because of them– will be subjected to the condemnation experienced by white Evangelicals;

– We discuss the different standards that exist between whites and blacks. This difference communicates that blacks are still not seen as equal to their multiethnic counterparts. This informal acknowledgement of racial inequality has negative implications on reconciliation and redemption.
