Southern Evangelicals: Dwindling—and Taking the GOP Edge With Them

[JI7]

4. the newer ones are still hateful but they are libertarian

the thing with the south is that despite separation of church and state the church has been a big thing in getting out the vote for republicans.

it's not just their personal beliefs but it's the entire organization. they can depend on the whole thing from giving money to campaigns, organizing and getting people to get out and vote.

the libertarian types are less likely to be this involved. if they vote they will vote republican but they are less likely to have that entire structure in place . there aren't thep eople who will continually be in their life to make sure they gave money, went out and voted and whatever else.
