You're right, of course. Also, the South is changing a lot and quickly. Plus, the South is not one thing; there's a lot of regional variation from what I've seen. The Republicans I think have been really good at rallying a large and angry group of people that have felt left behind in all the economic changes since the late 1970s. Arguing over culture is just a way to avoid talking about economic issues.
