5. Yes, and without the "white evangelicals"...

... both Biden and Clinton won the "white vote" too.

The white evangelicals keep trying to return this country to the Dark Ages, or perhaps only back to the times of the Salem witch-hunts.

Evangelicals were already "pushy" even before their alliance with the GOP, feeling obligated to convert everyone else to THEIR WAY.

Live and let live? Nope, they can't do that!

Edit: And since conversion of others is so fundamental to them, it's insatiable! If everyone in this country magically adopted their current beliefs at the snap of a finger, that wouldn't end it. They'd then modify their cultural desires to create outsiders who need converted! Thus their ideas of "purity" continue to narrow, they will inevitably "eat their own", and they'll never be satisfied.
