It's not that they won't have some victories, but elections this spring are defeating and even unseating right-wing extremists in favor of moderation. And this is an electoral effect of something we've already been seeing: religious right denominations have been losing power and influence increasingly for a few years now as more and more people leave organized religion.

The bad side of this, of course, is that many of those latter have made political partisanship a substitute that they've thrown themselves into with religious commitment and zealotry. They will still vote for what they deplored it's a choice on the ballot associated with an R.
