Perlstein’s 4 volume documentation of that drift is remarkable. It was not some casual slide or aberration. It was a called play by Republican activists and organizers. Not the least of the con was the cooptation of the Evangelical Right. They’re already intensely organized and ready to act. Democrats fall in love, Republicans organize, or something like that.

The thing is that the Evangelical Right is largely a spent force now, at least in my view. They got used and dumped by the duopoly in the same way as the Sandernistas.
