    Hmm, I could’ve sworn this video addressed desegregation and rhetoric surrounding “forced busing” and such uniting them, but I must be confusing it with another. I’m trying to find what I’m thinking of but I can’t, it must’ve been a subsection of a Knowing Better video or something. Probably this excellent one on the party swap.

    Overall, I think that “evangelical” is probably a flawed term to use for the religious right.

    Is this advocating for that? I’m not really sure that anyone is trying to make Evangelical Christianity a synonym for the religious right. The video here is instead explaining how that tendency formed and how it contributed to and became a major player in the coalition that is the religious right.

      You know, that’s fair. I think you’re probably right that the video isn’t necessarily conflating the religious right with evangelicals. I might have been reading that into the video when it wasn’t actually there.
