Though Ben Howe, the author of the book, The Immoral Majority: Why Evangelicals Chose Political Power over Christian Values, never asks readers that specific question, he may as well have.

He chronicles his disillusionment with evangelicals who not only voted for Trump but became hardcore supporters while preaching values anathema to their new champion.
