653: Character, Christian Colleges, & Why Trump Won with Robert P. Jones

Robert P Jones

According to New York Times columnist, David Brooks, our society has given up on moral formation to focus instead on individual success and happiness. Can we recover a culture of shared virtue? Surprising new data shows that overall college enrollment is down, but Christian colleges and universities are growing. What’s the explanation? Then Robert P. Jones, from PRRI, is back to unpack the numbers from the presidential election. Why did more Latinos support Trump, and are Democrats learning the wrong lessons from their loss? Also this week—animals hold grudges.

I just want to thank the Holy Post gang for discussing the Southern California wildfires with compassion and curiosity the past couple of weeks. It's been hard to live in this region the past few weeks and it sure doesn't help to hear Christians from other parts of the country making jokes about the fires or offering up their favorite nonsensical theories about where to place blame. You guys are a bright light in a dark time.

Jones in talking with Skye said that 80% of church-going White Evangelicals voted for Trump. Trump's number one issue in the 2024 campaign was to close the Southern Border and deport 15 million people.


So it makes no sense that White Evangelicals would have now show courage and stand up against the deportations.


Your brothers and sisters in Christ are probably calling ICE right now to deport their neighbors.
