Ditto for Muslims.

You average observant Muslim is pretty socially conservative*, but they’re not going to vote for a party that constantly demonizes them and uses the word “Muslim” as an epithet.

Depending on whose numbers you accept, that’s between 2.5 - 7 million people. Even if only half of them are registered voters, that’s still a lot of votes, especially in statewide elections (though obviously more concentrated in some states).
