In line with Gallup:
That is the primary 12 months in Gallup’s development since 2001 that extra People have recognized as liberal than as conservative on social points. Though the four-percentage-point hole is just not statistically important, it represents a numeric milestone within the development, which has seen People’ social views changing into extra liberal over the previous decade.
In most years from 2001 to 2012, social conservatives had a transparent benefit over social liberals — by 12 factors, on common. Conservatives’ edge shrank to 5 factors in 2013 and, since then, has both remained in single digits or social conservatives and liberals have been tied.
The Republicans have been attempting to combine racism, homophobia, and xenophobia right into a tradition warfare. The Republican outrage over important race idea is the newest instance of how the GOP can’t win on coverage, so they’re making an attempt to divide the nation with tradition wars.
The issue for Republicans is that over the previous decade, the nation has modified. The receptive viewers for a tradition warfare argument is far smaller. The GOP sees the full variety of votes that Trump received in 2020 and thinks {that a} tradition warfare retains Trumpism alive, however Trump misplaced by nearly eight million votes.
America is changing into a extra socially liberal nation, and Republicans are being left behind by combating a tradition warfare that was misplaced many years in the past.
