The Republican Party's Future in a Post-Trump Era
The future of the Republican Party is framed around the lasting impact of Donald Trump's presidency, which has fundamentally altered its identity. There is debate about whether the party has become a 'Trump Party,' driven by a cult of personality, or if it will revert back to its traditional values once Trump is out of the picture. The conversation highlights the significant ideological shifts within the party, moving towards isolationism and protectionism, while distancing itself from fiscal conservatism that emphasized budget balancing.
