What exactly is it with Evangelicals? Some important context for everyone not within that narrow subset within the population that seem to have disproportionate influence. They aren't even a big part of the military, but they are often pandered to, at the dismay of everyone else.

Pretty good summary but our founding fathers were for limited government. A lot of evangelicals were turned off by Clinton and Obama who were condescending toward Evangelicals. Obama famously phrased it Xenophobic clinging to their Bibles and guns. Hillary didn’t do. much better with her basket of deplorables. So as America swings to the left we have increasing crime, inflation etc.

Condescending for good reason.
Evangelicals aren't actually for limited government at all. Their legislative goals expanded government considerably and invaded the rights and privacy of everyone not functionally white and Christian. Xenophobes clinging to bibles and guns was mean spirited, but not inaccurate.

You've got a 'global warming caused by disappearance of golden age pirates' thing going there too.
