Republicans aren't internally diverse. Reagan and his evangelical allies chased all the non-christofascists out of the party decades ago.

Republicans aren’t diverse, but all large groups are internally diverse. The christo-fascist voting block has a lot of power in the party, and has direct influence over policy, but that doesn't mean they make up the majority of Right wing voters. You have to imagine other people complexly, even the shittiest person has complicated and unique reasons for why they are so shitty.
