| HaRRicH 03/26/18 11:01:29 AM #298: | 3/26/2018 WASHINGTON POST - Despite porn stars and Playboy models, white evangelicals arent rejecting Trump. This is why. The more someone believed the United States is and should be a Christian nation, the more likely they were to vote for Trump First, Americans who agreed with the various measures of Christian nationalism were much more likely to vote for Trump, even after controlling for a host of other influences, such as political ideology, political party, and other cultural factors proposed as possible explanations of Trump voting. [...] No other religious factor influenced support for or against Trump Second, we find that Americans religious beliefs, behaviors and affiliation did not directly influence voting for Trump. In fact, once Christian nationalism was taken into account, other religious measures had no direct effect on how likely someone was to vote for Trump. These measures of religion mattered only if they made someone more likely to see the United States as a Christian nation. Antagonism toward Muslims was just as important as Christian nationalism Finally, the various cultural explanations that other researchers have examined didnt predict Trump support in our study, with one notable exception: anti-Muslim sentiment. How much a U.S. voter feared Muslims was as significant in predicting who voted for Trump as Christian nationalism. Overall the strongest predictors of Trump voting were the usual suspects of political identity and race, followed closely by Islamophobia and Christian nationalism. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/ wp/2018/03/26/despite-porn-stars-and-playboy-models-white- evangelicals-arent-rejecting-trump-this-is-why/ --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png ...
