Transforming in what way?

Theologically? Most likely not.

Demographically? Probably, as a greater percentage of Hispanic Americans join evangelical churches for any one of many reasons.

Politically? Hard to predict without knowing how politics stand in the next 20-30 years.

No change in population trends but they could get back to 2004-era “presence” if certain actors do not provide a payoff soon.

Demographically, they will probably represent an overall greater share of American Christians, while also becoming more non-White.

Theologically, movements within the Baptists (and the SBC) in particular appear to be trending in a more Reformed direction.  That probably means less emphasis on dispensationalism and "end times" and overall a more Calvinist orientation within Evangelicalism.

Hmmm...  might dispensationalism make a comeback in a world where AI is really taking off?

I'm enough of a technopessimist to think that dispensationalism would be demonstrably happening in real life in that case, so yes, probably.

The low information latino catholic to evangelical pipeline will continue, but it will stop at some point when latino lapsed catholics stop forcing their offspring to do the sacraments.
I suppose that tele-evangelism will reduce importance in the future, but religious social media (maybe funded by organizations like the Southern Baptist Convention) would take their spot.
Maybe conservative catholic social media account could compete with them, at least in a way similar to what Vox and Milei's friends have been doing in recent years.

Religious social media has already taken off, not just among evangelical and catholic but even normie mainline circles. There's whole communities on Twitter/Facebook that's just Episcopalians, just Reformed folks, etc. They're eccentric little communities but surprisingly strong and nurturing to those just joining/finding their faith.
