For someone to say it's "troubling" that White Evangelicals are voting for Trump is a bit like saying it was troubling that Nazis joined the SS in their adoration of Hitler.
That's not hyperbole.
I mean, sure. It is troubling, but I think that underplays both the obviousness of the move and the seriousness of the threat.
White Evangelicals aren't being misled in their closely held beliefs. They want a very different world.
It's not a sociological but an anthropological topic.
