Yes, definitely. The John Birch Society was what people now call "alt right" at least 50 years before Alex Jones had a radio program, and it was 100% evangelical protestant.

These people kind of fly under the radar, though, especially if you're in the city.

JBS was mostly anti-government radical libertarian boomerwaffen. They did oppose immigration and some of the cultural rot, but that was always a sideshow to their economic libertarianism. Muh lower taxes and muh federal reserve.

They weren't always like that but they did purge dissidents.
