With more and more people going to college and getting degrees we most certainly have a 'Young intellectual' demographic. Millennials are the upcoming generation of workers and parents, they're emotional, and they pride themselves on intellectualism. If you need any more proof of their existence, visit the r/politics on Reddit. The evangelical demo is strong for now, but their opinions and ideals are completely dismissed by these 'young intellectuals', who have been conditioned to dismiss religion as a cavemen esque fairy tale. To them, being a Christian means you dismiss science, education, logic, and common sense.

I did not mean to imply this wasn't true. All I'm trying to say is that the evangelical demographic is strongest in the rural south, and I suspect the Southern Strategy will continue to be beneficial to the Republican party for some time.
