The evangelical religious movement is sort of a hot potato; they were mostly democrats until about 1979. That was the peak of the baby boom impact and I gather that a lot of people decided that the Dems were just a morally sleazy crowd. I've heard some stories. So then they went republican.
Yeah, it's the worst thing that ever happened to the Republican Party, because of the divide it caused forcing members of our party to have to choose between protecting civil rights or enacting economic solutions, when before this invasion of religionists, we stood for both.
