New episode of History As It Happens: Evangelicals and Trump: Will they support him again? The origins of conservative Christians' takeover of the GOP.
As the race for the 2024 Republican nomination intensifies, it's unclear whether an important GOP constituency will continue steadfastly supporting Donald Trump, because his influence appears to be waning. Whoever wins the nomination, though, will need the backing of conservative evangelicals. They've become a dominant force in Republican politics, evidenced by the emphasis on appointing conservative judges to the relentless culture war against liberalism.
In this episode, historian Darren Dochuk discusses the origins of evangelicals' rightward move and the politicization of faith -- from the aftermath of the First World War to the Cold War through the presidency of George W. Bush and the embrace of"faith-based" initiatives. This is a podcast for people who want to think historically about current events. Everything happening today comes from something, somewhere. The past shapes the present.
