Make not mistake is Hitler were resurrected and were President of the US, the RW Evangelicals would support and side with him as long has he was willing to establish theocracy with them sharing power. You simply cannot underestimate the evil of these frauds. What they want has nothing to do with religion it is a bout raw tyrannical power like the Taliban or ISIS.
Nothing could be more clear when you see what is happening in many states where they control the GOP. Just look at the laws being proposed or passed regarding abortion and reproductive rights. Look at what is behind their "freedom of religion" agenda. They are a terrible chronic disease in our midst.
They use the disguise of religion. Meanwhile they plan their evil deeds and thirst for takeover of our society. They simply find secular government abhorrent. They believe it to be intolerable. 21st century Puritanism is their goal. Prosperity gospel is their mantra. He who is without sin will prosper and be rich at least in spirt if no financially.
Pence is their ace in the hole. If Trump goes we get him. His place on the ticket was well planned.

(62,444 posts)There's a serious lack of understanding of who Evangelicals are, and what they have historically been about.
Martin Luther played a significant role in the history of German nationalism.

(20,998 posts)Alois Hudal (also known as Luigi Hudal; 31 May 1885 13 May 1963) was an Austrian titular bishop in the Roman Catholic church, based in Rome. For thirty years, he was the head of the Austrian-German congregation of Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rome and, until 1937, an influential representative of the Austrian Catholic Church.
In his 1937 book, The Foundations of National Socialism, Hudal praised Adolf Hitler and his policies and indirectly attacked Vatican policies. After World War II, Hudal helped establish the ratlines, which allowed prominent Nazi German and other European former Axis officers and political leaders, among them accused war criminals, to escape Allied trials and denazification.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Jews_and_Their_Lies
On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word antisemitic treatise written in 1543 by the German Reformation leader Martin Luther.
Luther's attitude toward the Jews took different forms during his lifetime. In his earlier period, until 1537 or not much earlier, he wanted to convert Jews to Lutheranism (Protestant Christianity), but failed. In his later period when he wrote this particular treatise, he denounced them and urged their persecution.
In the treatise, he argues that Jewish synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes burned, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness, afforded no legal protection, and "these poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time. He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[W]e are at fault in not slaying them".

(46,301 posts)Here in the US, one of the biggest names on the dominant media of the time (radio) was Father Coughlin, an open pro-Nazi Germany and vicious anti-Semite and anti-Roosevelt activist.
After WW2, Coughlin was one of the early Holocaust deniers.
Southern evangelists like D. James Kennedy and Jerry Falwell were openly racist and anti-Semitic, Catholic activists nowadays like Theodore Shoebat and protestant preachers like Bryan Fischer are openly racist and anti-Semitic.
