Those people called themselves Christians and their ideology was based upon supremacy and hate. Those people morphed into evangelicals and outright racists. They now control the Republican Party in all rural areas of the country, no sane person can get nominated by that party anywhere but occasionally in the northeast.

California is the proverbial canary in the coalmine, the rural versus urban/Surburban split is only going to get worse and as urban/Surburban expand into rural areas, republicans are going to get wiped out politically.
