The previous GOP was a polite and well structured party because they shared and promoted the dominant cultural values. Now that they do not ( at least in the world of pop culture and media) they are expressing themselves as rebels who need to fight the system. this has opened the doors to popularizing people who push against social justice*. many of whom do so by being flippant and brash.


* I'm not sure exactly what the right word to use is, though politically correct kind of hammers the point home about how pervasive "progressive ideology is.
I think the word you're looking for is... woke
