The fact that they've become so transparent in their efforts to pass various 'Religious Freedom' bills and BS like bathroom laws says to me that they know they're on the wrong side of history and are scrambling to keep their rapidly waning social influence.
I really think this country will look dramatically different in the next 20-50 years as the old people die out and the young and increasingly secular populations increase.
