To go back to the original topic, I was thinking more about this, and I think "white evangelicals" are more of an ethnicity than a religion. had a friend growing up who identified as Irish Catholic as his ethnicity, even though he was an avowed atheist. I suspect something similar is going on here: people who describe themselves as 'evangelicals' are talking more about tribal membership than about creed. Taken that way, there's no tension between identifying as an evangelical and supporting a reprehensible incompetent.

Yes there's a long history of people interpreting Christianity according to their ethnocentric interests.
