Sorry friend, but the Protestant vote is conservative, the Catholic vote has always been liberal, if anything, they are sometimes joining the Protestant vote in recent decades, mostly during a reelection after first voting against the Republican, but it is a start.

Even Protestant Hispanics are voting to the right of Catholics.

Part of it is. Part of it is liberal.

“the Catholic vote has always been liberal,”

Uh, no.

“if anything, they are sometimes joining the Protestant vote in recent decades, mostly during a reelection after first voting against the Republican, but it is a start.”

Wrong again. It is not that the Catholic vote has joined the Protestant vote since the Protestant vote is not monolithic, but rather that the Democrats have become more liberal and lost some of their supporters while picking up others. These shifts happen all the time in politics.

“Even Protestant Hispanics are voting to the right of Catholics.”

Nope. Some are voting more conservatively than some Catholics. Others are not.
