Print headline: A New Breed of Evangelical Finds a Defender in Trump
Ms. Johnson’s thing includes frequent prayer, she said, as well as podcasts and YouTube channels that discuss politics and “what’s going on in the world” from a right-wing, and sometimes Christian, worldview. No one plays a more central role in her perspective than Donald J. Trump, the man she believes can defeat the Democrats who, she is certain, are destroying the country and bound for hell.
“Trump is our David and our Goliath,” Ms. Johnson said recently as she waited outside a hotel in eastern Iowa to hear the former president speak.
According to Merriam-Webster, the first-know use in print of the 'wacko' as an adjective occurred in 1965.
Other coinages from the same year include:
- cherry-pick
- cozy up
- deal-breaker
- future shock
- hardwired
- mockumentary
- vroom
There was also a new bread of evangelicals in 2007.
