Donald Trump shined a light that exposed a fundamental rift inside Evangelical Christianity which was previously hidden to most people. This shows the value of events that divide people in unexpected ways; they allow us to gain unexpected insights.
In identifying himself with the anti-Trump Evangelicals, Christianity Today CEO Tim Dalrymple acknowledges that the urban church elites, although they have achieved high socio-economic status, have failed to achieve cultural influence.
Contra Dalrymple, these churches have frequently explicitly sought to obtain cultural influence, which is revealed in their transformationalist vision statements around bringing "cultural renewal," "wholeness," etc to cities. While they've achieved a lot in other areas, they have not made much progress here. Instead, they have primarily acquired power and influence over the rest of Evangelicalism, which they are using to remake it in their own image.
