Devon should do an Insomnia Stream about the rise of the "religious right" in the 1980s. When I was a kid in the 70s my dad moved us in to a "Christian community" which was a state-subsidized early release program for prisoners populated by hippies motivated to save people's souls from eternal damnation. Anyway I distinctly remember state/national politics were discouraged as discussion topics--the adults expressed they were servants of Jesus' will, fighting a spiritual battle, not mere partisan agents bickering over mundane, "earthly" decisions.
Then came Ronald Reagan and next thing I know, I'm out campaigning with my dad for this guy and pounding in yard signs. Suddenly it was practically a Christian duty to be politically active. In the 80s, the religious were polarized politically on the right side of the aisle and that's been the dominant theme (protestant morality) of the right ever since
