(1) Revelations is not a cause, it's a prophecy. (If that distinction is difficult to grasp, I can help: a cause is something you /try to make/ happen; a prophecy is something you /believe will/ happen no matter what you do.)
(2) Many Evangelicals oppose Trump.
(3) Snide putdowns of entire religious groups are disrespectful and ignorant and do not represent what the anti-Trump/pro-democracy movement is supposed to be.
If you ask them, you'll find many evangelicals do believe that it is "important to support Israel" *because* of Israel's role in God's plan for the establishment of Christ's millennial kingdom on Earth. In other words, they talk about the prophecy as a cause.
Generalizations are always imprecise. Common, if regrettable, jargon is to skip qualifying groups as 'most x'.
My point, which you seem unwilling to consider, is that Trump appeals to many who do believe we're in the End Times. They want a big, world-ending war, and Trump is ideally suited in terms of (lack of) intellect, character and temper to give them what they expect.
I'll consider contrition for painting Evangelicals with a broad brush as soon as I notice significant numbers of them PUBLICLY coming out against Trump.
And why should they doubt it? They're allowed their religious beliefs. And presumably end times or no they can still vote.
And they'll vote for Trump because he's advancing the cause of Revelations.
This is mistaken on at least three counts.
(1) Revelations is not a cause, it's a prophecy. (If that distinction is difficult to grasp, I can help: a cause is something you /try to make/ happen; a prophecy is something you /believe will/ happen no matter what you do.)
(2) Many Evangelicals oppose Trump.
