great example of evangelical 'MAGA' fans not being all white:

Michael Cohen: “Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump allegedly said: ‘Can you believe that bullshit? Can you believe people believe that bullshit?’” pic.twitter.com/mCcOvTl2EP

also a reminder that not all evangelical MAGA supporters would necessarily be "Christian nationalists' and vicey versa. I think these labels in the end are all very inaccurate and slippery. Especially as far as politics is concerned,- I myself know several people who are evangelical bible thumpers and clearly liberal Democrats.

edit to add: Jimmy Carter is an evangelical Christian!

According to the 2020 census,

According to the 2020 census, 61.6%, or 204,277,273 people, were white alone. This represented a national white demographic decline from a 72.4% share of the U.S.'s population (white alone) in 2010.

In reply to Lutheran Church official calls for white nationalists to be excommunicated

White evangelicals have dropped to 13.6% of the population (and Christian nationalists would be a tiny subset - keep in mind, tho, that there are many non-white evangelical Christians)

....The group that has declined the most is at the core of the MAGA movement, the group most devoted to Christian nationalism. “White evangelical Protestants have experienced the steepest decline. As recently as 2006, white evangelical Protestants comprised nearly one-quarter of Americans (23%). By the time of Trump’s rise to power, their numbers had dipped to 16.8%,” Jones explains. “Today, white evangelical Protestants comprise only 13.6% of Americans.”

And that decline may yet accelerate, because they skew older than the population as a whole. Put differently, there are far more baby boomers in this group than Generation Z members. White evangelicals are “losing” people with each successive generation. (“White Christian subgroups have each lost approximately half their market share just across the generations who are alive today,” according to Jones.) If your business had lost half its market share, you would be panicking, too.....

Personally I think the photo illustration they used is quite faulty; definitely looks like an evangelical service and far from Lutheran.
