8. The evangelicals will never get on board, for the most part...

because they were one of the main elements driving the whole disfunction. Started way back, but under Reagan it took off like a rocket. And it was all racially based. Up until that point, abortion wasn't even on the religious no-no list, nor was sexuality and gender. This stuff was all driven by repugs wanting to drive a wedge between The People, and (especially) the Southern Baptists and (what was then known as) The Dominionists wanting more power once they'd had a taste of it. That's only a high level of it, there's so much more if you dig deeper... but suffice it to say they want to create a theocracy ala Iran, and are only going to keep pushing it. Those damned 7 Mountains MUST be achieved by them, you see. And I've noticed just how hard they're going after the "Mountain" of Entertainment right now. Once we take back the government from amoral repugs and MAGA, we're going to have a hell of a time getting religion out of government once again. (sigh)
