Overrated
-The age-gap. For one, Trump cut significantly into it in 2016, and the Senate races had even smaller ones (or none). Secondly, while there are more conservative and more liberal age cohorts, all do get somewhat more Republican as they age.
Underrated
-The absolute Democratic collapse with Christians (both evangelicals and Catholics), largely due to family values and abortion. If the Republicans can extend this to religious Hispanics and blacks, the Democrats will have to become socially conservative or be irrelevant for good.
I know you probably want to believe this but no, social conservatism is dying.
Yeah, social conservatism is at its lowest point in decades.
I think one reason the mostly secular region of rural New England that swung heavily to Trump did so
in part because they believed Trump wasn't a hardline Evangelical Republican. It's just my theory.
