The Influence of Evangelicals in Politics
Evangelicals constitute approximately 30% of the electorate, making them a significant voting bloc in the United States. They have been described as a vital firewall against many left-leaning policies that conservatives oppose, such as regulations on fossil fuels and immigration reforms. Although they sometimes lose in elections, their overall influence ensures that certain conservative values are upheld in public discourse. Understanding the role of evangelicals is crucial for any conservative or patriot wishing to navigate the current political landscape.
