What a lot of people forget is that conservative Protestantism/Evangelicalism is not something that was limited to the South.  New England today is much less religious than the South, so people assume that has always been the case.  But that isn't accurate when looking at the history.  Considering the theological views of the Puritans, I can't imagine them being at home in the Democratic Party in 2020.  And Reformed Christians today, who are close in theology to the Puritans, are much more likely to vote Republican than Democrat.
