Btw, isn't the following groups in your list just a subset of the Religious Right or their influence?
anti-choice,
homophobes,
sexists,
Islamophobes, and
anti-LGBTQs
These group are taught their hate.

Doesn't this all come down to Greed, Fundamentalists Religion, Racism, or this USA militarism? Does anyone know any republican voter who does not subscribed to at least one of these categories? I know a huge number of republicans and all of them have one or more of these reasons for voting Republican.
