A lot of the Evangelicals kinda hitched their wagon to George W Bush 20 years ago and are still licking their wounds from the brow-beating they got for having done so.
Also they get taken advantage of like no other cohort. They're the most loyal supporters of the GOP and get essentially nothing in return. Maybe they're starting to wonder when their support is going to actually pay dividends.

There is the problem. You do not get rewarded for loyalty in politics. You get rewarded for pressure and the possibility of defection.
After all, why pander to rubes you got on lock-down, when you can instead chase after those juicy (but non-existent) "big tent" voters?
