Roy Moore broke the Bible Belt

Roy Moore did something normally so impossible it would be considered downright miraculous if it weren’t so odious. By running such a terrible campaign and by having such an awful past, Moore helped Alabama adopt New York values. More specifically, he pushed them to elect Doug Jones, the only pro-abortion senator from the Deep South.

This feat shouldn’t be underestimated. While only 14 percent of Alabama agrees with Jones on abortion, 49.92 percent of the electorate went ahead and pulled the lever for the Democrat anyway. Barely a year after delivering a southern avalanche of support for Donald Trump, they knowingly voted for a Senate candidate no less extreme than Hillary Clinton.
