It's been that way for awhile but I don't think the political religious lobby is particularly loyal to any one figurehead as cancel culture is also very strong within their ranks. Trump is kind of an exception to some extent but that's mostly because he's never really gone on with a pious image and has always been a bit of a crass salesman type.

It's important to understand that Trump was very unpopular with the religious right in the United States but won mostly because he was able to capture populist sentiment by openly ridiculing politicians on national TV. It's easy for him to do that with no political resume himself. It's harder now when people can simply turn around and criticize him for his own failures. He can play the blame game I suppose but I don't think it will carry him far.

The religious right only got wrangled into trump's camp after he won the primary because that's the nature of US politics. If they can produce a candidate that can carry the public better than Trump can then I suspect they'll attempt to scandalize trump in some way. It's usually not difficult as again, the religious right is almost always going to participate in cancel culture when it comes to things like sexual infidelity which there's no shortage of evidence that Trump has, while not illegal, broken "God's Law".

But it's far far easier to get the religious people to unite against something than to get them working together for something. Much like with the woke spaces there are many ambitious sociopaths trying to gain fame and power and willing to sabotage each other to get it. I've seen churches split over the most minor of doctrinal disagreements, there's no way they can manage a government. Everyone believes they have divine right and compromise is evil, but they can't agree on what that divine right is, so everyone except those who agree with me must be evil, and that can't sustain any effective coalition. Even with issues like abortion where most religious voters will agree that abortion is wrong, when it comes down to the specific minutia of when it's wrong and when it's acceptable, they'll split and be unable to maintain power as the hardliners who say abortion in no circumstances whatsoever will be slowly edged out as when they actually have to put pen to paper and write the law will have to carve out exceptions for the various health complications that arise which make abortion perfectly acceptable in the eyes of most all legitimate religious bodies or anyone who understands the medical exceptions that are the oft repeated leftist talking points against banning it.

Similar splits will occur over other evergreen social issues like gay marriage or pornography. There will always be someone with more extreme views than you and like with activism once some gains are achieved they'll now be the avant-garde of the progressive push and will pull the movement straight apart. Porn banned for all minors, fairly uncontroversial. What is porn? Much harder to say. Ban bikinis kissing etc on television, hell ban television entirely, you'll find people who hold these views, and while they aren't likely to get far with them they will torpedo any serious religious political movement that forms unless there is extremely strong leadership to keep them in check. I really don't see that happening.

What I suspect we will see is something totally off the wall we just haven't seen before. Think Mormons or Pentacostalists or what have you. America is basically the land of weird christian cult revivals, there's a few undercurrents going along now, prosperity gospel stuff is popular at the moment but I doubt it has staying power through times of economic hardship.

It's very hard to predict what new kind of Christianity America will think of next. Trumpism isn't likely to be a major cult going forward imho. Some kind of hyper gender roll focused macho Christianity might be, as we are already seeing a bit of a trend towards that. Maybe beards will go back into style.

Or maybe we will get some kind of neoludite ideals rejecting the internet. Or perhaps they'll make some kind of super successful christian social network and go the opposite way. Heavenly father is always watching. Using AI algorithms and data analysis to keep the believers from sinning. Who knows. Easy to speculate but hard to say what it will be.
