That is 10000% not true. The Evangelical wing will NEVER agree to let that be the case. A lot of the GOP is still fighting against gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, and other trivial personal freedoms like whatever gender someone wants to check on boxes of surveys. At the same time we keep spending our asses off, while having soldiers in the Middle East still.

Again Trump is changing some of those things, but it is not the mainstream GOP.

ever heard a democrat say "let them go to church on sunday if they want to. it's not bothering me."

nope! it's "we need to close their church down. it bothers me." "we need to take their guns. guns bother me."

Agree completely.

The Dems and the GOP are two sides to the same authoritarian coin.

that's fair, but i really think it is the mainstream GOP...in real life, out in the streets, everyday people. elected officials cater, pander, and pretend to be religious when they're not. the Evangelical wing is definitely not the majority, or anywhere close to it, of modern everyday republicans.

and i'll go an anecdotal bit further about my "live and let live" point. who is more safe...a liberal walking around a conservative city with biden gear on, or a conservative walking around a liberal city with trump gear on?

a conservative is way more inclined to let you be, and i really don't think it's even close.
