Traditional conservatives have been severely marginalized in the Republican Party. The floor space has given way to hard right populism. The old conservatives are emblematic of a corrupt elite (within the party) that the MAGA crowd rallied against.
The populists were always there (and always racist), they just happened to be the marginalized ones in the past. Now they’ve taken over.
