There are a thousand issues, so it can be difficult to decide where to focus. Is it "the economy stupid" or "inflation" or something else? To me, there are many issues which can easily be debated, and the Republicans will have no answer. The most obvious recent one is "why did Donald Trump kill Immigration Reform legislation which he continually calls for?" But, there is another one that lingers.
The Republican Party is a coalition, just as the Democratic Party is. They generally support the idea of less government, especially taxes, and a strong military. But, the Trump MAGAs bring another element to the fore, one that should never have been in American politics. It's that there are MAGAs who "just want to see the world burn". They tried to overthrow the election of Joe Biden, and in so doing were happy to overthrow the United States Constitutional government.
That part of the Republican coalition makes it entirely criminal. That can be seen by the large number of them facing criminal charges and going to jail. Even if you weren't considering that part of the coalition, the rest would be rather extreme, but lower taxes and support for the Christian Right isn't new. As long ago as Ronald Reagan, that was part of the coalition. Even the inept George W. Bush didn't bring any revolutionaries into the party. It's not acceptable.
No patriotic American should twist their thinking to believing that it's somehow acceptable. It should be rejected out of hand, and Donald Trump with it.
