I don’t know that I completely buy Howe’s premise or stance on what Evangelicals seek in a candidate. For many of them, I believe they are being sincere when they claim they chose the lesser of two evils. If someone believes, for example, that abortion is killing human beings that deserve as much value and protection as any person already born, they might very well argue that overlooking character flaws is a minor thing compared to fighting to save lives.
I’m not sure I agree with his assertion that people of faith can’t justify voting for a candidate for reasons that support the causes most important to them. We all often settle for compromise as part of life in order to get something close to what we want.
I do know that I completely related to Howe’s experience of watching the Right seem to shift from what he recognized and could identify with into something much more driven by political points, “liberal tears,” and election outcomes. I watched with dumbfounded amazement as once-loved figures became hated traitors because they didn’t blindly follow the narrative of candidate, then President, Trump.
Lots of eye-opening moments where I consider the movement I once identified with and wonder “How did we get to this place?”
