"A Public Religion Research Institute study from the Fall revealed the strong connection between the role of patriarchy, attitudes on child-rearing, and religiosity that directly predict one’s support for both Trump and violent authoritarianism.

75% of white evangelicals
61% of white Catholics
58% of white mainline Protestants
