The "Blacks for Cochran" may have done more than win a primary for Cochran; they may have splintered the Republicans and lead to Democrat victories in November.

It reminds me of the Arab Muslim conquest of the Eastern Roman province of Egypt in the 7th century.

The Egyptians were Monophysite Christians, while the imperial capital Constantinople was Orthodox. Years of religious persecution of Egypt by Constantinople alienated the Egyptian Christians, who then didn't feel like fighting on behalf of the Eastern Roman Empire which persecuted them, and so the Arabs took over Egypt.

Great analogy.

What if the Ruling Class at the Imperial Capital were happy with and silently working for the Arabs to take over Egypt because they hated the Monophysite Christians more than the idea of losing a country?

I think that would fit the GOP Ruling Class more perfectly in how it views Conservative Christians that it hates more than the idea of losing the country itself to the MarxoFascists.
