Evangelical Support for Trump Eroding?

But moving from atrocities against schoolgirls in A-stan to nearer practices of patriarchal domination, what do you make of the growing resistance to Trump among Evangelical women?  They would to the last "man" insist that their relation with god is personal, but in practice it appears essentially mediated by husband and pastor. And apparently husbands and pastors have trouble seeing Trump's misogyny, or giving it much account.

Once you grant God chooses imperfect instruments (the reigning theodicy legitimating Trump's authority) to accomplish his will, who's to say one of those instruments can't be a Democrat?  How would Jesus sort out health care in the time of Trump? People leaning Democrat could find some Biblical support for single payer and other "socialist" remedies. How would Jesus sort out the separating of children from parents--and then losing the parents? Would he assume Democrats are only treating brown immigrants humanely to buy votes?

No one is saying God's instrument cannot be a Democrat. But it is one-sided to point to conservative things that go against what you feel is Christ-like. For instance I'm pretty sure he's not overly tickled about man killing his miracle of creation even before it can be born.
