Reading for RD : Jesus and John Wayne

I am not sure if anyone on TS has been reading about    ......    US Evangelicals , recently .
"well  ,   they are taking a beating "...

A popular book ,  speaking engagements    for the writer   ,   is all the RAGE.  on U tube , PBS ,    ......... I'll get right into it  ...Lo

  ..  JESUS AND JOHN WAYNE .
' How white evangelicals  corrupted a faith  and fractured a nation". 

> In her engaging and provocative book , Jesus and John Wayne , Kristin Kobes Du Mez provides what she believes is the answer to that question .
For DuMez , Trump was simply the culmination  of decades  long evangelicals emphasis on hyped up masculinity rooted in patriarchal  views of marriage , family ,  and society combined withe a militant mindset.

From  .... Billy Sunday in 1920s
Poster boy Billy Graham
Loving  war  and Nixon
RD's Tea Party,

As usual, you have me confused with someone else. I am not a Evangelical.  I am a mainstream Protestant.  Just a boring old Lutheran.  We don't evangelize anyone.   We have female pastors and gay members of the congregation.  We are apolitical.
