If that's what we get as a result of a second Trump administration, and it looks like the Heritage Foundation is calling most of the shots, I don't believe churches which have been identified with right wing extremism will survive. If we are somehow able to return to a Democratic administration after 2028, the damage that they will do in the next four years will lead to the emptying out of most of the churches that supported it, once separation of church and state is restored.
