Some evangelicals are “quietly quitting” Trump and MAGA

«”We know that there’s a lot of really quiet movements that are going on,” Pagitt said.

Dave Gibbons, lead pastor of the multiethnic Newsong Church in Santa Ana, Calif., tells Axios he’s talked with people quietly walking away from MAGA because of the mass deportations.

Reality check: Precisely how many evangelicals are “quietly quitting” MAGA isn’t clear — most don’t announce it publicly for fear of being criticized or harassed online.

Some evangelical church leaders also worry that speaking out — even when citing Scripture about helping strangers — could result in an exodus of members who back Trump, said Gibbons, a former fundamentalist.»

There’s a fair amount of this sort of quietness in (US) Christianity, not just among people de-MAGA-ifying themselves. The progressive Christians just aren’t as loud.

Meanwhile, tons of folks in the social-media-o-sphere continue to caricature Christians. (Granted, a fair number of people calling themselves “Christian” do a pretty good job of caricaturing themselves.)
