I'm guessing you don't spend much time with evangelicals.
I try to keep my distance now but I am a Christian and attended a pretty conservative evangelical church in the U.S for 5 years. I'm pretty clear on what I heard in my men's groups about standing up for convictions against "liberal" politicians who want to destroy the fabric of the country with the erosion of family values. I'm pretty sure I haven't been sleeping for the last 40 years.
The evangelical silence on Trump is a disgrace.
What is it specifically that you want evangelicals to do?
Be consistent. Either family values are important to them or not. Its quite obvious they are not, so its time for them to stfu about them until they want to be consistent.
Respectfully, you didn't answer the question. What is you're looking for from evangelicals? Facebook posts? Peaceful protests? Calls for impeachment because of immorality?
Here's what I would like to see -- some condemnation of his behavior, both past and present. Some recognition that he currently is lying, despicable, self-absorbed idiot. You can do that while still support most or even all of his policies. But the silence and quite opposite, the continued unquestioning support, from the evangelical community is telling. And I get that this is a generalization, that there may be a few voices from that community speaking against him, but overall, I believe the generalization is accurate.
I assume from your defense of evangelical support for Trump that you're an evangelical. If that is true, then point us to a few of your comments in the LR that are critical of him and his behavior.
