It’s been around for generations.
It’s called Christian nationalism and they’re taking over the world just like you said.
I think the mechanic is different though from what I’ve seen. Evangelicals all have like 5+ kids, the more the merrier. While the rest of the demographics are in decline, it’s on the rise. It’s a social club where everyone gets discounts on car repairs, house renovations, speeding tickets, whatever they want from their church group. And they commonly have a family business that several of their children work at. Their 5+ kids are all raised republicans, and they all vote as if it’s written in the bible, and their kids have kids at like 20 years old ->which is essentially double the generations of everyone else. That why in the late 90’s and early aughts if anyone brought up over turning abortion rights, they’d have been laughed at ->no one is laughing anymore.
