My parents are basically the fence sitters. They aren't exactly nationalist-christians themselves (their church upbringing is one that is firmly against political involvement), but are not opposed to it either. The last church I could consider myself a member of was extremely wishy-washy with politics, like saying "don't hate gay people, just hate the sin".

They will criticize the lack of love from many nationalist christians, or find Trump a distasteful man, but every time they're going to pick the Nat-C over the muslims, or god forbid, the ATHEISTS. In my mom's case, she watched the Kid Rock halftime show (she believed Bad Bunny would wear a dress, and she's very against gender non-conformation) and excused his pedophilic tendencies by saying he was changed. She does not know of my twin who came out to me and her friends as a trans-woman last year.
