      The weird thing is if you want an example of "party discipline" of the kind leading to success you just have to look at the Republicans, and the gains made specifically by their hardcore religious right wing, who ALWAYS vote and who ALWAYS vote GOPhttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1240709317558284288 …

      I say again that if progressives want to win bigger and better policy victories, it's necessary to vote in solid Democratic majorities every time. Primary the centrist Democrats. Then vote for them if they beat your candidate, and primary them again next time.

      The evangelical control of the GOP wasn't written in stone, it was something that happened over time starting in the 60s and 70s, and the most striking thing about it is that this not only took power away from the "moderate" Republicans but turned them into an endangered species

          The fact that they were such a reliable bloc meant that it became super uncomfortable to be a Republican who didn't pander to them, eventually it made it so you couldn't function in the party at all

          Are you familiar w/ @C_Stroop? She writes extensively on how American evangalical xtianity has been pushing towards theocracy for the past 50 years. Well worth a follow.

          Also, it was something they had to talk themselves into — because at one time, politics was too profane and secular for them to bother with. A *lot* of the evangelicals, even the hardcore ones, were in the "God is not a Republican or Democrat" zone until their culture shifted

          This is not the full story. Rush Limbaugh isn't Evangelical. Sean Hannity isn't. Roger Ailes sure as hell wasn't. Newt Gingrich is Lutheran.

          I didn't say everyone became an evangelical, I said that everyone ended up having to pay tribute to them and the "moderates" who were openly skeptical/defiant of them ended up leaving the party All of the names you mentioned absolutely kiss evangelical feet for a living

          Which religious groups would be more likely to get tax-deductible donations from wealthy individuals, so they could grow much larger than others? The love your neighbor, greed is the root of all evil ones? Or those whose xenophobia shifts blame away from the corrupt?

          The difference between the two doesn't even need to start out being that obvious, or the choices deliberate. Preference will favor one over another, and then over time a feedback loop emerges, strengthening two groups who see mutual benefit from their relationship.

          I don't think moderate republicans ever existed. They pretended to be moderate. The evangelicals just made it possible for them to drop the pretense.

          Good point. Being able to confidently rely on 1/5th of the electorate to vote for you no matter what you do (even murdering a million Iraqis) really makes things easier.
