How Trump won the religious right

[Magical Realist]

Let's try this again:

"Paula White was already a famous national televangelist and megachurch leader within charismatic Christian circles long before Donald Trump ran for president.

Television Stardom

Massive Audience: She launched her television show, Paula Today, in December 2001.

National Networks: By 2006, her program aired on major networks like the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), Daystar, and BET.

Cultural Comparison: Media scholars frequently compared her cultural influence to Oprah Winfrey because of her talk-show format and personal storytelling.

Megachurch Success

Without Walls: She co-founded the Without Walls International Church in Tampa, Florida, in 1991.

Peak Attendance: At its height, the church drew roughly 20,000 members and ranked among the largest megachurches in the United States."--- Google AI

Someone give MR a smack, he's stuck on repeat. 9_9

No addressing the facts or any attempt to rebut them, just mindless repetition. You know, cult-like behavior.

[confused2]

The OP is "How Trump won the religious right"
Evidence
[Trump]appointed her [Paula White] to chair his Evangelical Advisory Board during the 2016 campaign.
Syne then claims..
"Most conservatives didn't know who Paula White was."
Implied (by Syne) .. most conservatives are 'religious right' .. I suspect this is false but having made the (false?) connection Syne's insists Paula white didn't help Trump to win the support of conservatives .. which has no bearing on the claim made in the OP.

[Syne]

Data from organizations like the Pew Research Center shows that the vast majority of self-identified conservatives embrace a Christian identity, commonly belonging to evangelical Protestant or Catholic traditions.

How could Paula White have been a significant factor in religious support if the vast majority of conservatives had no idea who she was?

The OP basically claims that Trump's support among conservatives was astroturfed by this strategic alignment with White, which can only be true if it can be shown that most conservatives knew who White was. They didn't.

Too bad you seem as ignorant of US conservatives and Paula White's rather fringe following as MR.

[confused2]

How could Paula White have been a significant factor in religious support if the vast majority of conservatives had no idea who she was?

Trump appointed her [White] to chair his Evangelical Advisory Board during the 2016 campaign.

Is it possible Trump just needed to know what to say and do to attract 'the religious right'? Folks didn't need to know anything about White .. possibly better that they didn't.

Edit..
Again you're away with your "the vast majority of conservatives" with no indication of how many are 'religious right' .. this makes for poor discussion when the subject is 'the religious right'.

No, the OP says she directly convinced conservatives that Trump was their man. Didn't you watch it? @_@

Maybe you're ignorant of the fact that conservative in the US is right-wing. Thus if "the vast majority of self-identified conservatives embrace a Christian identity," the vast majority of conservatives are religious right.

You keep trying to pretend that you're correcting the record here, but you're just exposing your obvious ignorance. Maybe try asking questions about stuff you clear know nothing about, instead of pretending you can actually play gotcha.

AI..

Approximately 32% of Americans fall into the core ideological base associated with the modern religious right

the core constituency most tightly aligned with the religious right—white evangelical Protestants—makes up about 13% of the U.S. adult population

Clearly 'religious right' depends on your definition.

Assuming all 'religious right' vote for Trump this would (by the above definition) give him between 26% and 64% support from the 'religious right'.

[Syne]

No, you're just conflating religious right with Christian nationalism.

[confused2]

No, you're just conflating religious right with Christian nationalism.

No. I'm just telling you what educated people think you mean when you refer to the 'christian right'.

[Syne]

The Christian right are Christian political factions characterized by their strong support of socially conservative and traditionalist policies.[4] Christian conservatives seek to influence politics and public policy with their interpretation of the teachings of Christianity.[8]

In the United States, the Christian right (otherwise known as the New Christian Right or the Religious Right)[9] is an informal coalition which was formed around a core of conservative Evangelical Protestants and conservative Roman Catholics.[12][13] The Christian right draws additional support from politically conservative mainline Protestants, Orthodox Jews, and LDS.[15] The movement in American politics became a dominant feature of U.S. conservatism from the late 1970s onwards.[1][2] The Christian right gained powerful influence within the Republican Party during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.[20] Its influence draws from grassroots activism as well as from focus on social issues and the ability to motivate the electorate around those issues.
