CULTURE OF HATRED SPURS BLOWBACK: Hostile Dems push Christians into Trump’s arms.

So why the dance with Trump now despite his past social liberalism (which has given way to a social conservatism that is wobbly and inarticulate at best), adultery, divorces and vulgarity? Because social conservatives suffer a paucity of options — and their choices started getting worse before Trump took his fateful ride down the escalator.

Evangelicals have long given the Republican Party more in votes than they’ve gotten in action. But the Democratic Party increasingly pairs near-uniform social liberalism, including taxpayer funding of abortion, with a very crimped understanding of religious liberty.

Democrats have backed away from the framework of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act now that conservative evangelicals are seeking its protections. From Christian wedding vendors to Hobby Lobby, this has real-world implications for evangelicals in business.

I remember when all right-thinking people supported RFRA, but that was when it was about letting American Indians use drugs.
