Myths about "white evangelicals"

[DemPGH]

Generally speaking, I disagree with 1-2 and agree with 3-4, but that's broadly and generally.

1-2) I think they tend to be rurals, particularly older, and that's a fairly monolithic group. I would say the ones that still hold to the Democratic party are of the conservative type - pro-gun, anti-SSM, anti-tax, and so on. But they want their social security and medicare.

3-4) I agree here. They are not all uneducated, for one thing - plenty are, in fact. It's just that for whatever reason the education did not change their outlook or open their minds; of course, it may depend upon the education as well and where they got it. I have no idea what sort of things they would typically major in in college, but I would only guess Business or Finance or something with some tangible practicality. But that's purely a guess. I sincerely doubt they would be art restoration or philosophy majors. I have an aunt who attends church - her preacher and his kids fall into this category. One is a lawyer, another a manager of something, and the preacher has psychology and counseling degrees.

And they're decidedly not mostly southern as the rural north illustrates.
