Vulgarity Meets Zealotry: The Rise of Trump Among Evangelicals
The initial rejection of Donald Trump by mainstream evangelicalism contrasted sharply with the enthusiasm he garnered from grassroots evangelical supporters, particularly following the Obergefell Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage. This event catalyzed conservative evangelicals' feelings of urgency and catastrophe, prompting them to gravitate towards Trump's promise to disrupt the system. His engagement with religious advisor Paula White, who introduced him to a network of independent charismatic leaders instead of traditional evangelical figures, facilitated the establishment of a prayerful connection between Trump and these new allies. These meetings, marked by prayer and prophetic gestures, laid the groundwork for robust support from within the independent charismatic community, bolstered by media outlets like Charisma News and Charisma Magazine that amplified their influence and messaging.
