Right-wing authoritarian (RWA) followers are still supporting their favorite party just as their social dominator leaders, or the neocons, are.
The following was compiled for a review by Pew Research to show a trend toward Democrats in the last three Congressional elections. More importantly, it further confirms that the authoritarian system is still in place.

From this table and as summarized below, white Christians showed a nearly two to one preference for Republicans over non-whites and non-Christians. By the same margin, they also showed their dislike of Democrats. This preference was even greater for white evangelicals – three to one. Only 27 percent voted Democrat while 72 percent voted Republican. White evangelical protestants, RWAs, made up 22 percent of the voters.
| Religious Affiliation | Democrat | Republican |
|---|---|---|
| White Christian (Evangelical) | 40 (27) | 57 (72) |
| White non-Christian | 75 | 22 |
| Non whites | 75 | 24 |
The preference is even more prominent when frequency of attendance at church is taken into account. As shown below, the delta for party preference increases by another 8 points for RWAs that attend church at least weekly. Note also the similarity in support for Republicans between the weekly mainline protestants and the less than weekly evangelicals.

Regardless of the trend toward Democrats that the Pew Research tried to emphasize, there is a more important fact shown by their data. The white evangelical protestants, RWAs, are still strongly of one mind.
Together, the neocons and RWAs are still pursuing their agenda. They would love to see Newt Gingrich get the Republican presidential nomination for 2008 so they can have their “values issues” resolved.
