The wish to bring back dangerous biases against POC being less than whites, and males being the dominant deciders in all matters. It's so blatantly obvious with how their chosen messiahs like Desantis and Trump favor only policies that further empower white males and lessen the power of women, POC, and those who aren't gender normative. They aren't rooting for "middle America" they only filling them with fear about diversity and non traditional opinions being equally as valid as "christian" beliefs. Democrats are flawed, but the GOP has become a party of white supremacy which came to a head under the Trump presidency because they found one of their own who wasn't hiding behind the moderate "business forward Republican" persona of past republicans.
