The nominees are deeply conservative & often unqualified.” https://frankschaefferblog.com/2017/12/america-stands-brink-evangelical-catholic-imposed-theocracy/
“..White evangelicals turned out in mind-boggling numbers. Because they maintained their roughly 80% support for Republicans (76% & 81% in 2 exit polls) of recent years, it also means some 40% of Trump voters came from a group that is only 15% of America.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/11/13/trumps-racist-appeals-powered-white-evangelical-tsunami/

Shirkey singing “Old Rugged Cross” was deliberate. The lyrics are on the left, the song’s history is on the right. They believe there’s an epic battle coming, folks: Believers vs. Non-Believers. Many have been preparing for it all their lives. They believe this is God’s Will. https://twitter.com/ReesusP/status/1329829289626243074
