GOP Goes All In On the Culture Wars

Washington Post: “On the campaign trail, they’re railing against critical race theory and gender identity discussions in schools. In state legislatures and via executive fiat, they are trying to limit medical procedures for transgender children and punishing large companies they view as overly politically correct. They’ve found success by weaponizing the left’s ‘defund the police’ movement, which advocates for reallocating resources to limit police power.”

“And they’re already accusing President Biden of catering to college-educated elites as he considers forgiving student loan debt.”

“In primary races ahead of November’s midterm elections, Republican candidates are embracing contentious battles over gender, sexual orientation and race rather than sticking to tried-and-true attacks on inflation or Biden’s low approval ratings.”
