Members of the right have a problem. For the last four years they have been able to stay safely tucked behind the insanity of the previous administration, knowing that as long as they stay quiet and toe the line, they'll be in power.
Now, after a presidential election season that ended in a violent insurrection, they find themselves adrift. Their inability to govern — laid bare as we watched a year of their disastrous mishandling to the COVID-19 pandemic — has left them politically weak.
When this sort of thing happens, it seems they have only one page in their playbook: start a culture war. For decades, this was easy for them: they would find an easy target and pin every social ill upon it.
