'The Freedom Caucus attitude that existed before MAGA that, perhaps, gave MAGA a structure is still there, and…trying to assert itself,' one professor has said.
While party hardliners have professed that a less compromising brand of politics is key to their party's success nationally, many of the party's candidates for the U.S. House and Senate this cyclearound issues like abortion, which ultimately tempered Republicans' expectations of a"red wave" in this year's midterm elections.
Dragging the party further to the right with additional litmus tests might be a good way to avoid primaries in the country's reddest districts, notes Johns Hopkins University's Steven Teles, but it also creates a race to the bottom that more vulnerable members may be unable to win. "Moving up in the status hierarchy within that ideological space is a little bit like the horror movies," he said."With every movie you watch, you need even more extreme things to get the same effect you had with the last one you watched."
"You keep having to go deeper into that zone of things that were previously unthinkably extreme," he added."Because if everybody's doing the other thing, you can't really distinguish yourself."
