@mattsheffield@mastodon.social the long timeline of the evangelical right is interesting. It's a carefully constructed movement. They basically take some niche "morality" issues (abortion, gays) and twist, creating controversy and mobilizing religious people over the decades. Very little to do with actual religious practice. (In Finland many outspoken right wing people are openly culturally pentecostal or adjacent, signaling conservatibe values, but personally with more alcohol problems than pew time...)
