But evangelical leaders warn that’s no guarantee their rank and file will stay involved in politics if Republicans abandon socially conservative issues, like abortion and gay marriage, even as they lean in on others, like banning transgender kids from participating in youth sports. In July, Trump nearly sparked a platform fight at the Republican National Convention over language that couched abortion as primarily in the hands of the states, a position anti-abortion advocates almost uniformly oppose.

We can only hope that he continues to piss them off and they abandon him.

      They won’t. Their goal is theocracy. They’d prefer it tomorrow, but they’ll chip away incrementally if need be. That’s what they did with the courts, which is why we’re here in the first place. They’re still voting for Trump.
