minus-squaremacarthur_park@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-27 months agoAbout 1 in 4 adults in the US identify as evangelical. They also have a higher voting rate than other groups, so unfortunately their opinions have an effect. The fact that 80% of the evangelical vote went to trump in both 2016 and 2020, and that their support appears to still be about the same is one of the key reasons Trump is still a viable candidate.
