"So what, then, do these voters want?" Rubin writes. "Many essentially see politics as a great battle between White, Christian America and the multiracial, religiously diverse reality of 21st century America. They want someone to help them win that existential fight. Government is there not to produce legislative fixes to real-world problems but to engage their enemies on behalf of White Christianity."
What has changed since Jerry Falwell announced his "Moral Majority"? Or founded Liberty University? Hell, I remember conservative (before the label became "evangelical") churches setting up private schools in the '70's because Brown v. Board was slowly but surely becoming the law of the land (it took about three decades, for those of you thinking everything should have happened yesterday). What's changed? Anything? At all?
Same shit. Different day. The GOP has been moving towards this since LBJ's pen came off the paper inscribed "The Voting Rights Act".
The struggle is real.
