Nationally, Republicans are letting themselves get transformed into a cult of personality by a losing candidate who holds many views that run directly counter to the partyâs long heritage.

We live in an age of ânarrativesâ but the narrative of Donald Trump taking over the Republican Party does not explain what just happened in the âunassembledâ Republican convention where the party picked a statewide ticket using ranked-choice voting.
Yes, 2021 finds that Virginia Republicans have certainly shifted much further to the right than their political party once was.
