      Plenty of the rural red state churches and strip mall wanna-be fire and brimstone pastors left.

      Megas get all the press. But plenty of them just play to the crowd and are just as happy to go hard in the paint for a Hillary or Newsom or Obama as a Bush or Trump.

      Hell, some of the most deranged criticisms of Trump (he’s the antichrist, he’s possessed by a devil, he’s a skin walker / lizard person / hologram / secret Communist) came from Cruz/DeSantis allies during the primaries.

        They seem to have gotten in line to some degree since. But then again, expecting churches (with private jets) to be moral is maybe asking a bit much.
