Christianity Today calls for Trump to be removed from office. The baffling support of evangelical Christians has defined Trump's presidency and politics. There is nothing Christian about caging children and breaking up families. There is nothing Christian about serial sexual assault. There is nothing Christian about ranting and threatening those you disagree with.
The ultimate conclusion, of course, is that being an evangelical is not a theological position but a cultural one. You become an evangelical because you hate that this country is no longer a homogenous, white, Protestant country. Of course, it never really was, but then again, I don't think Jonah was literally swallowed by a great fish, so...
Anyway, it would be nice if, say, 15% of evangelicals who supported Trump in 2016 stayed home in 2020. I doubt it will happen, though.
