The real question is whether Republicans are really the “unnerved who have long enabled him but now fear losing power and forever associating their party with his racial animus.”
Leaning on a culture war requires the power of a reactionary populism that can keep intimidating and oppressing people on the basis of race, class, and gender in the face of more “woke” individuals. The thing is, democracy is more than wearing black or trying to not wear black by wearing flowered shirts.
