I scanned three articles and I read ~15% of a very long article. As I expected - all I found was obvious stuff that anybody with a brain already knows - the fundamentalists have a desire for a "strongman" that will get them what they want and that politics is "transactional"
Maybe it basically comes down to one word: abortion.
Trump was the only GOP 2016 candidate who said it plainly. If you vote for me - I will appoint justices to end Roe vs Wade. Although Trump surely called them "judges". His promise was enough for the fundamentalists to go fully mask off and to stop even pretending they believed in stuff like love thy neighbor. Trump was their guy from then on and they just ignored the fact is an utterly repulsive and vile human being.

This is the very long article and it seemed very promising - archive.today • Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump - Rolling Stone. But I stopped reading when I got to this sentence...
I don't care about the writer. I want him to talk about himself as a person of faith. I don't care. I want him to answer his own goddamned question!
Thanks for doing that and giving a great answer :fidel-salute:
