That’s legit - Reagan in the top spot certainly let them down the rosy path to the Uniparty, but in those days American Evangelicals had significant influence in the actual direction of the GOP which - despite being irritatingly shallow and unintelligent, was markedly *different* from the Democrats. There was also an *assumed* nationalism, with an ethnic undercurrent by virtue of sheer numbers. But they all gradually died out and were replaced with zionist neocons - thanks largely to that aforementioned Evangelical influence.
