There is a lot to absorb here. A long and winding road of important information. Gut wrenching to learn that some of the leaders that have been instrumental in shaping Evangelical opinion, belief and behavior are not the men we would hope them to be. I was drawn to this book because of it's aim of providing an explanation of how we got to the place where Evangelicals are big Trump supporters. When I have a long time Christian friend saying of immigrants "we shouldn't have to pay for that" I am motivated to find out how she became so Pro Trump when God has asked us to welcome the stranger, love justice, and live a life that is polar opposite to what Trump represents. The author shows us how decades of Christian leadership, some of whom have been held in high esteem, with selfish and hateful motives has helped suck us in to hateful patterns. The brainwashing didn't start with Trump. He is just the net result. We have been brainwashed by many others along the way.
