They are an ideological group generally aligned to the GOP but are with the Dems because the GOPs eschatology supports the other team. However, fundie Christians and Muslims alike want to have moral authority and control over people.
They’re not a voting block that’s with us for any reason except we know the least about fundamentalism and seem to have less of a boner for religious Zionism.
Crazy that ex-Muslims tend to flock to the right because the left has its head up its ass and racialises Islam as hard of not harder than the right wing. Racializing Islam is actually part and parcel of modern political Islam as well, and any “liberal” or “leftist” pushing that narrative is a useful idiot.
