Quite literally the only reason the GOP has remained competitive (and I use that word lightly, they rig the shit out of state elections) is white evangelical turnout.

Lol what? That’s like two buzzword talking points for one.

If you’re talking about the GOP “rigging elections” with the “voter suppression laws” then that doesn’t make any sense since there haven’t been any elections (at least of significance) where they have come into play. If you’re talking about gerrymandering then sure I guess? Don’t know how substantiated that would be given either side accuses each other of so on the regular. If you’re talking about hating mail ballots, wouldn’t those benefit them more given rural and elderly strong areas?

Evangelicals are probably the most misconstrued religion in the United States. Southern Baptists are not Evangelical while Pentecostals are much closer, yet the former is the one considered so. I don’t know why people think Mainline denominations are some how less “right leaning” than Evangelicals, especially given the churches, councils, conferences, etc. passing conservative rulings all the time despite more “liberal” members and outsider pressure. The United Methodist Church is undergoing a planned schism as we speak because of this (though I wish they would not).

You’d be surprised on how “the youth” will vote for. Also, there are plenty of modern conservatives around, stop talking in narrowing terms. Stop trying to put a label like “social conservative” as if it’s a grounded term and anyone who doesn’t meet all of the “criteria” is not one. The right, center and center left is not some clearly delineated and labeled group like the left is. They don’t have 20+ labels for every possible position they may have on something nor is their “ideology/ideologies” anything but amorphous.

One last note, a lot of what you’re saying seems to conflate the 2020 election against Trump with people being “conservative” or “right leaning”, which is extremely flawed.

And we're done here. Voter suppression and gerrymandering are both in fact rigging.

When one party has to win by more than 15 points to take a majority in a state that is a rigged system, no matter what.

And you can easily know how credible it is by looking at the math.

Never said anything about rigging, just that the former has not had significant influence on any elections so far and that claims of gerrymandering are just as often met with counter evidence and accusations that it’s difficult to ascertain its influence.

Assuming you are referring to sovereign state with “in a state” and this you’re talking about the electoral college then idk what to tell you if you think that’s the right “rigging elections”. There have only been one election where the modern GOP lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote, two if you count 2000.
