That was one thing completely lost on me in the last election. The number of evangelicals throwing their support behind Trump saying, in effect, God is a Republican. 'Yeah, Trump's horrible, but the party put him up... sooooo... I guess God'll use him.' God couldn't use a Democrat? 'Uhhh... MAGA!'

Personally, I don't think the GOP is all that different about not following His word. They leverage abortion as a platform issue, but rarely use the authority they have to do anything more about it than talk about how they need to get reelected to do something. Latching onto that has taken evangelicals down a dark path of not supporting laws reflecting His word.
