Abstract
This article challenges conventional views about the Religious Right and the culture wars in the United States, as it contends that the general topic has often been distorted in important respects. Specifically, it advances several somewhat counter-intuitive claims. It contends that the Religious Right is neither a long-standing nor a monolithic entity; that it is currently relatively dormant; that cultural criticisms associated with religious conservatives are often not driven not by grass-roots populism but are cynically promulgated by mainstream Republican elites for electoral gain; and finally, that even when these efforts succeed electorally, conservative elected officials seldom enact policies that cultural or religious conservatives want. In short, much that has appeared in recent years to be a cultural crusade may, in fact, be a mere charade. Cet article rejette les manières traditionnelles d'aborder la droite religieuse et les guerres de culture aux États-Unis, car il prétend que le sujet a souvent été déformé à d'importants égards. Il promeut par ailleurs plusieurs revendications contre-intuitives. Il affirme que la droite religieuse n'est pas une entité de longue date ni une entité monolithique; qu'elle est actuellement relativement inactive; que les critiques culturelles associées aux conservateurs religieux sont rarement menées par un populisme de base, mais plutôt promulguées avec cynisme par l'élite républicaine dans le but de faire des gains électoraux; et que même lorsque ces efforts ont un effet sur le scrutin, les conservateurs élus adoptent rarement les politiques que les conservateurs culturels et religieux désirent. Bref, une grande partie de ce qui a semblé être une croisade culturelle au cours des dernières années pourrait, en fait, n'être qu'une comédie.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
