Noting that 88% of weekly-attending white evangelicals voted for Trump in 2024 and 60% tell pollsters that God got Trump elected, and 58% of Catholics voted for Trump, Patrick Brennan talks about brood parasitism.
The cuckoo does not build its own nest, but lays eggs in the nests of other birds. When its chicks hatch, they push the eggs of the other birds from the nest.

The cuckoo hatchlings then occupy the nest of the birds whose eggs they've pushed out and demand to be fed by the other parents birds. This is how Trump and his movement have captured white Christians in the US, Brennan says. It's a question of brood parasitism. And it's why so many US Catholics will stick with their God-ordained man despite what the pope himself says: #PopeLeo #Trump #Catholics #evangelicals #WhiteChristianNationalism /2
