WHAT IF EVANGELICALS WERE OSTRACIZED FROM GOP INFLUENCE? A coordinated assault on evangelicals is underway from certain right-wing influencers. We’ve seen it firsthand: an effort to strip evangelical leaders of their sway in the Republican Party, the Trump administration, and MAGA. • This is a long-term strategy that overlooks the critical midterms and harbors motives that fracture the historic coalition responsible for restoring President Trump and common-sense policies to the White House. • The ultimate winners? Radical ideologies assaulting our children, free speech, religious liberty, economy, national security, and the family unit. Evangelicals were the backbone of President Trump’s landmark 2024 victory, boosting their support from 76% in 2020 to 82%—per NBC exit polls. 👉👉 What if these attacks from antisemitic voices on the right prevail? 1. Catastrophe for the Right and GOP: Evangelicals form a powerhouse conservative voting bloc with untapped potential for higher turnout. Alienating them would cripple electoral strength. 2. Erosion of Child Protections: It would dismantle resistance to extreme LGBTQ+ propaganda in schools, sports, awards, scholarships, and restrooms—leaving kids vulnerable. 3. Silencing the Pro-Life Movement: Evangelicals are the GOP’s strongest pro-life advocates. While Catholics lead events like the March for Life, 57% of Catholics favor abortion as “legal in all/most cases.” Similarly, 63% of white non-evangelical Protestants and 68% of black Protestants support legalization in most/all cases. 
Only 24% of evangelicals believe abortion should be legal in most/all scenarios. Why? Abortion contradicts Scripture, and evangelicals uphold the Bible’s inerrancy and authority above all. There’s no room for a “pro-abortion Christian” in evangelical faith. When infighting erupts on the right, recognize it’s counterproductive—short-term and long-term—for conservative goals. Then ask: Who truly gains from this division? Not the right. The left does. Ponder that before amplifying unhinged conspiracies from Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson’s jabs at evangelical pastors, or Nick Fuentes’ blatant antisemitism. —The right response for the right is to turnout for the midterms and win. Focus. Unite. Vote.
