Why did American evangelicals fail so hard in the culture wars of the 2000s?

[JakeWIlls92]

It seemed like during the 2000s the American "Christian" evangelicals were one of the dominant political forces in society.

They fought wars against video games.


and ended up making themselves look like complete idiots.

How can a political group lose that badly?

Because typical Republicans also sold them out, by do nothing, Individualism, and Capitalism.

Their champion now is the physical embodiment of the 7 deadly sins. If satan himself arrived tomorrow and said sign a contract with me and I’ll end gay marriage and give you control of all women’s bodies they’d sign up.

Because of people like Jerry Falwell Jr. and people like him!

Funny that you blame evangelicals for failed attempts to censor videogames in the late 90s and early 2000s by linking a fox news interview with a bonehead feminist who doesn't like videogames...

for the same reason pro-LGBTQ feminists are trying to censor videogames today.

Muh misogyny!
