You ask about white evangelicals and Catholics -- "What were those votes all about?"

I suspect, unfortunately, they were about 1) intense dislike (in many cases outright 'hate') for Clinton, and 2) tacit approval of bigotries by the powers-that-wanted-to-be.

And both reasons were the result of either 1) encouragement from the pulpit, or 2) a multi-generational failure of the pulpit to define Christianity for everyday life.
