Jerry Falwell didn’t want his whites-only college to be integrated by mandate, and started the Moral Majority, a voting bloc that didn’t care how crooked a candidate was (or worked against their interests) so long as they were anti-abortion-access. And this helped Reagan win by a landslide in 1980.
