I understand that it's very fashionable for Christian leaders to criticize some of the excesses that we're witnessing in the Church as it relates to political activism.
Be careful of broad-brushing and over-reacting, however.

Is there a measure of idolatry present within the Church? Absolutely. Is everyone or even most who are engaged or passionate about politics committing the sin of idolatry? Of course not.
Imagine if many of today's most well-known Christian leaders were vocally opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.'s political activism, casting his engagement as perverting the Gospel and paint all of his supporters with the broad-brush of idolatry.
Truly prophetic voices help the church to correct itself when it deviates too far off course in any direction.
As a general rule, if a prophetic ministry only course corrects the right (which would be in full agreement with prevailing popular right-hating culture and media, etc.) then it's not actually prophetic, it's just trendy.
