That's not the argument.
Again, we are talking about the GOP being "cool" and winning the cultural war.
There's a huge gap between that and "Evangelical theocracy", the same as there's a huge gap in how the Left has won the cultural war and trannies running everything.
Have we forgotten Lindsey Graham's stupidity in 2022 already?

Did you miss post-911 America? That got Bush 2 terms. John "cover the naked statues" Ashcroft was his fricking AG Now, the cultural shift will end up net-positive for the left over time. That's been the pattern for all of civilized human history.
No. I remember compassionate conservative (ie say you are conservative maybe even Christian but don't bring any of that into policy) being his platform.
Perhaps you have a myriad of policies enacted during bush's term that demonstrates this massive far right pendulum swing that had to be corrected and had nothing to do with a botched war and economic collapse that actually cost us that pos Obama.

The convention had a prayer session for Wageru, a porn star spoke, there was long praise of immigration, and we had union representatives speaking.
This could have been a Democratic convention ten years ago.
Trump and TDS has totally changed the Republican party, really both parties. Whether it's mostly for the better or the worse is up for debate I guess, but the Dole/McCain/Romney/Bush party didn't do that much to help ordinary Americans, and seemed very content to less mass immigration and forever wars roll along with no speedbumps.

I'd say we're finally fighting back, not winning
The Culture War is the long game, it is vital to fight it and win it
Ignoring it was stupid

Everything is fine until you start putting mega douche Union blowhards and AIPAC shills front and center.

You think he's evangelical or has to pander to evangelicals with abortion bans? (after roe v wade got overturned and South Carolina was already implementing their own policy)

And he still felt it necessary to peakcock extreme cultural conservatism.

No. The left still control media and education and huge investment funds. What you see is a blip.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the market is speaking about this directly and it's not going so well for far-left content.

Largely irrelevant with good parenting

Very irrelevant, especially if the culture is shifting (b/c the market would be shifting as well and they control IB like the media, at the end of the day).

I'm almost 52 years old and I've never seen this many black people support Republicans. If you noticed they have weeded out all the old rhinos and replaced them with younger people that talk about working for the people.

I have similar feelings, but difficult to judge how much weight to give them. But if nothing else, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that progressivism is no longer the counter-culture. Progressivism has become "The Man." Conservatism is the counter-culture now. It doesn't matter which side is "The Man." The same dynamic is at play. "The Man" tells you what and how to think. It's human nature to rebel against that.
Great post.

In 2016, it was on its way to being the counter-culture but got de-railed by a few things
1. Legit white supremacists hijacking the term alt-right
2. Charlottesville, which changed everything, especially online (which is where the non-left was winning the culture war bigly)
3. Boomer infiltration, leading to the Q era
You want to know how to stop being cool? Let old people run things.
