The Republican Party's disconnect from electoral dynamics leads to a lack of moderation, as there's no demographic pressure to diversify or soften ideological stances.
The party remains predominantly white and conservative, creating a coalition that, while theoretically fraught with tensions, ultimately prioritizes cultural identity over diverse interests.
Ambitious Republican politicians find it necessary to adhere strictly to ideological purity, as demonstrating a more moderate stance jeopardizes their chances for advancement within the party.
With no significant ideological or demographic push from within, the only path for Republican success remains through out-conserving rivals, particularly those on the far right.
