on the courts, and consider that good enough, especially if it means the general divisiveness that separates them from family and neighbors subsides.

It's not "evangelicals." You're wrong about that. Those people are sick and gone. It's more likely educated Republican voters in the suburbs who have conservative values but generally don't like Trump's lack of decorum and the anger he promotes. These are people who don't identify with the Red Hats and gun nutters, the camo crew invading the State Houses and no-maskers making a spectacle of themselves in stores. They consider those people beneath them (they are). They identify more with their liberal neighbors, who now can't stand them, who have unfollowed them on Facebook and no longer like their kids' First Day of School or birthday pictures. And they want that to end. Is it enough of a margin to be significant? Perhaps. In suburban Milwaukee, in suburban Pittsburgh, in suburban Atlanta, maybe just enough to push it.
