How Evangelicals became Republicans
Here is a YouTube Video that may help explain why America is in such a nightmarish political situation of sharply contrasted bipolar and virtually unsolvable differences in politics and the apparent RW 'Fundamentalist' takeover and resurgence of a kind of fascism that has seems to have sprouted and is starting to take root.
Note: This video was made and posted to YouTube before Supreme Cort Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and was replaced by Trump appointed Amy Coney Barrett.

Re: How Evangelicals became Republicans
Are you aware, Hotspring44, that there is a faction of Evangelicals in Amerika - a very small faction - {perhaps only fifteen percent of the sum total of "American evangelicals"} who don't buy the hogwash of American Exceptionalism ? -Who think that Amerika itself is "Babylon the Great" of the Book of Revelation; that the apostate "Christian Church" in Amerika in the latter days is the "Great Whore" that rides the Beast?
Back in 2004 I met some of these people when I attended a dinner party up in the Santa Cruz mountains at the house of a carpenter who was a member of a small group. At that party I met a very articulate individual, the late Steve Shearer, the author of the "Antipas Papers"...
Speaking strictly for myself, I would say that the late Steve Shearer is / was a far better informed observer of the phenomenon of the so-called "Christian Right" than the talking head in the video you have offered us, above. At the very least, Shearer was far more familiar with the terrain.
