You said "Despite porn stars and Playboy models, white evangelicals aren’t rejecting Trump. Why? Christian nationalism".

You did not qualify "white evangelicals" as specific to those for whom "Christian nationalism" was taken into account. That sounds like a very small sliver of evangelicals. You smeared "white evangelicals". That is what I was taking issue with.

White evangelicals who have "Christian nationalism" as a core value is just a very long way of describing nazis or brown shirts or white supremacists. To equate evangelicals with that fringe group is slander.
