- pixl97 6y agoThe religious right has the whole 'second coming is happening in Israel' thing, so there is that.

- yeahright256 6y agoThe religious right can't even prevent Drag Queen Story Hour from happening, what makes you think they have this much power? It's more likely that it is simply the influence of Israelis and Jews in America, who are powerful enough to determine US foreign policy (Jared Kushner, as far as I can tell, is not a "religious right" but a zionist Jew).
- coliveira 6y agoThey have a lot of power because nobody is opposing them in issues related to Israel. Because most people are ok with the status quo, fanatical christians pull their strings with large number of voters to support anything related to the state of Israel.
- ackbar03 6y agoI think it's also because of their stance against Iran

- yamrzou 6y agoFrom [1]: It's a tight interplay of America's long-running Middle East strategy, US public opinion/electoral politics, and a pro-Israel lobbying campaign that is effective. Related to the pro-Israel lobbying, the documentary "The Occupation of The American Mind"[2] delves into the propaganda effort that was carried out for years to shape the American public opinion about Israel. I quite recemmend it.
