The Gospel According to John Wayne: How Evangelicals Embraced Militant Masculinity
When Donald Trump spoke at a small Christian college in Iowa in 2016, he didn't sound like a traditional Christian candidate. He boasted about his wealth, warned about immigrants, and claimed Christianity was "under siege." Despite his crude language and questionable morals, white evangelicals embraced him enthusiastically-81% would eventually vote for him. This wasn't a bizarre aberration or hypocritical compromise. It was the culmination of decades of evangelical culture-building that had gradually transformed Jesus from a gentle shepherd into a warrior king more reminiscent of John Wayne than the Sermon on the Mount. Trump's appeal to evangelicals wasn't despite his aggressive masculinity and authoritarian tendencies-it was precisely because of them. Over seventy-five years, evangelicals had constructed a militant masculine ideal through books, music, films, and consumer products that celebrated a particular vision of Christian manhood defined by toughness, authority, and willingness to use force in defense of faith, family, and nation.
