It goes back to Reagan and Nixon, IMHO. The Southern Strategy to turn


Uneducated and working class, but highly racist whites (e.g., TomKazanski, Lupos, HoakieDan) into Republicans by painting the Dems as the party of blacks, followed by Reagan era culture wars and the infusion of religion into politics, aimed at cornering religious right types (abortion, gay rights, etc.)

It’s gotten worse. Dubya was elected because the Jesus freaks loved him. Oddly enough, that is a big core of Trump’s base too, despite him being roughly as “Christlike” as Howard Stern or Larry Flint.

Personally think Trump is just a charlatan who gives the rubes the WWF character they want as a leader.
