The Changing Landscape of the Republican Party
The Republican Party has undergone significant changes, with the focus shifting away from core values and towards hate and racism for voter mobilization. The lack of clear values has made it difficult for the party to establish a cohesive identity, and issues such as limited government and fiscal responsibility have been overshadowed.
