Trans is just Anita Bryant for the modern age, and since they lost with homosexuals -- their original target -- they've been forced to take on trans people. What's after trans? I think they're in a corner on sexuality.

Abortion is a failure for the right. They've been forced politically to accept limited access instead of no abortion at all. Yes, you have a few extremists doing extreme things, but the extremism is a symptom of their demise. A majority will not go along with the extremism.

Republicans got an advantage on some culture issues because they pushed the envelope and did the unexpected. Now they are getting pushback. The Trump era culture wins were temporary. People didn't believe they would really go that far. Now the electorate knows they will. They no longer have the advantage of surprise, and they are not smart enough to do anything but the most obvious. Non-cis and abortion were obvious. School is obvious. Where do they go after that? Nowhere that enough voters will follow. Republicans aren't bogeymen but less bright people.
