Journalist Tim Alberta on What Fuels the Evangelical Devotion to Trump

Known for his best-selling book "American Carnage" and his incisive reporting for The Atlantic, Alberta recounts his early life growing up in the church and the intellectual journey with Christianity that influenced his worldview.

Tim Alberta is a true American treasure. We need him.
There's no one who has correctly diagnosed the current political / religious idolatry better than Alberta
Fyi, the term of MAGA was coined by Ronald Regan, NOT tRump. Trump just "borrowed" without give Regan credit. Much respect for Tim Alberta. This has helped me understand how so many people love Trump.
He's one of the few who has it figured out. Thank God for the discernment given to @timalberta.
The irony is that they are looking for safety while claiming to follow a man who let his enemies kill him in order to fulfill the will of God.
Bigotry, Resentment, Hated. There ya go.

I am concerned about end times Christian theology and it’s relationship with Israel. It is almost like a death wish with the need for Christ to come back and save them from all the modern problems and with Israel’s establishment as a modern state ,It fits in with Biblical prophecy.
This information is fantastic
Tim Alberta sees clearly how upside-down we are. He has a lot of wisdom.
As a Christian I really struggle to know why fellow believers think so many crazy things are true.
I never thought about politics except to help me decide who i would vote for. But every 4 years, the minority party was described as "aggrieved." I have to be told I'm aggrieved? Then it can't be true. But there are those who eat that up and feel obligated to do as they're told to right the wrong.
It's all based on lies. The Church, politicians, marketing but most of all greed. Please note l did not say capitalism said greed.
How do we expect to win the world to Christ when we hate our brothers and sisters? Is the evangelical church upset or embarrassed by what they hear Tim say?
Tim Alberta has not done the political theory necessary to understand the relationship between Christianity and politics.
Idiocy
