Republicans wrestling over the future of the party are debating whether to embrace the culture wars that helped former President Trump cement his popularity with the GOP base.
The internal rift, which involves congressional leaders and potential 2024 presidential contenders, comes as Republicans have struggled to dent President Biden's popularity and as they plot their strategy to win back the House and Senate in the 2022 midterms.
While some in the GOP are eager to double down on Trump's brand of populism, others argue the party needs to return to its roots.
"I think that the long-term future of the Republican Party requires it to be some version of the traditional Republican Party: strong on national security, low taxes, limited government, limited regulation and in the broadest sense of the word, pro-business," said Vin Weber, a Republican strategist, who espouses the more traditionalist party.

Culture wars is the only thing they have these days.

This party has no plan or interest in real issues that effect the country. they function only in outrage porn, keeping the base frothing over whether a trans kid is on the soccer team while they are funneling trillions of dollars to their donors.
The culture wars is ALL THEY ARE
