magistrsko delo

Abstract

Ameriški evangelijci so se z republikansko stranko začeli povezovati v 70. letih 20. stoletja. Danes predstavljajo pomemben del ameriškega volilnega telesa in imajo odločilen vpliv na volilni rezultat. Na volitvah leta 2016 je kar 81 % belopoltih evangelijcev podprlo republikanskega kandidata Donalda Trumpa, čeprav ta ne dosega standardov konservativnih evangelijcev glede moralnega verskega življenja - še več, Donald Trump predstavlja vse, česar konservativni evangelijci naj ne bi odobravali. Razloge za evangelijsko množično podporo Trumpu smo našli v skupnih interesih evangelijcev, ki se odsevajo v krščanskem nacionalizmu. Krščanski nacionalizem je kulturni okvir oziroma ideologija, ki idealizira in zagovarja spajanje ameriškega civilnega življenja s posebno obliko krščanske identitete in kulture. Krščanski nacionalizem je poleg nenaklonjenosti muslimanom in priseljencem najmočnejši napovedovalec podpore Trumpu. Magistrsko delo raziskuje, kateri kulturni, politični in verski dejavniki so vplivali na množično podporo belopoltih ameriških evangelijcev Donaldu Trumpu. Ugotovili smo, da so ameriški evangelijci, ki so podprli Trumpa, skoraj zagotovo belopolti, republikanci in krščanski nacionalisti. Zelo pogosto razumejo muslimane in priseljence kot grožnjo Ameriki, ZDA pa razumejo kot krščansko državo. Empirični del je zasnovan na osnovi sekundarne analize podatkovne baze Pew Research Center. Raziskujemo, v kako velikem deležu so konservativne vrednote, prepričanja in politične usmeritve prisotni med samoopredeljenimi evangelijci v primerjavi s tistimi, ki se samoopredeljujejo kot neevangelijce.

Secondary title:	American evangelicals and support for Donald Trump
Secondary abstract:	American evangelicals began to associate with the Republican Party in the 1970s. Today, they represent an important part of the American voter base and have a decisive influence on the election results. In the 2016 election, as many as 81 % of white evangelicals supported Republican candidate Donald Trump, even though he doesn't live by moral principles of conservative evangelicals - moreover, Donald Trump represents everything that conservative evangelicals should not approve of. Reasons for mass support for Trump can be found in the Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is a cultural framework or an ideology that idealizes and advocates the fusion of American civic life with Christian identity and culture. In addition to antipathy to Muslims and immigrants, Christian nationalism is the strongest predictor of Trump support. The master's thesis explores which cultural, political, and religious factors influence the mass support of white American evangelicals for Donald Trump. We found that the American evangelicals who supported Trump were very likely whites, Republicans, and Christian nationalists. Very often, Muslims and immigrants are understood as a threat to America, and the United States is understood as a Christian state. The empirical part is based on secondary analyze of Pew Research Center databases. We explore the extent to which conservative values, beliefs, and political preferences are present among self-identified evangelicals according to those who self-identify as non-evangelicals.
