And then there is Donald Trump. Pro-life demonstrators watch a screen showing Donald Trump as he speaks at the 47th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 24, 2020. To give an historical or theological veneer to all of this, some within conservative American church culture argue that Donald Trump is the modern equivalent of Emperor Constantine or King Cyrus II. However outlandish that claim of persecution may be, they insist it will become exponentially worse if Donald Trump is defeated. That view of reality can be seen in things like the conservative Christian reaction to the Democratic convention earlier this year.
