While Religious Right activists have felt emboldened by Donald Trump’s presidential victory and the GOP retaining power in Congress, a new poll released this morning by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) finds that the conservative movement’s political agenda is increasingly unpopular.

Instead, more and more Americans are supportive of LGBTQ equality, access to birth control and keeping houses of worship outside of electoral politics.

Following Trump’s win, social conservatives were determined to push through their policy goals of repealing the Affordable Care Act’s contraception coverage mandate, allowing houses of worship that explicitly endorse candidates for political office to keep their tax-exempt status, and undermining legal protections for LGBTQ people—if not overturning the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision altogether.

..
House Republicans, however, have already vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act’s contraception coverage requirement and are unlikely to approve any legislation to ensure legal protections for LGBTQ Americans.

They don't care if Americans are on their side because GOD is on their side for this bullshit.

1. They claim Dems want a "nanny state" while they enact a "daddy state."

2. Of course they are unpopular, but they vote

And we don't vote. That's our problem. If we turned out their agenda would just be pissing in the wind.
