What is the future of the Republican Party?

That article doesn't cite a single Dem. This is about advocates who are trying to pressure the Dems, not the position of Biden or any actual Dem.

 

Plus the article itself shows even among the advocates there's a lot of nuance here. From that article (emphasis mine):

Quote

“Trump’s border wall is just another pretext for targeting immigrants and border communities,” said Dror Ladin, staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project. “The construction of this unlawful border wall has desecrated tribal lands, leveled wildlife preservations, and destroyed border communities. Every unlawful mile of wall should be taken down, and the government must work with border communities to undo the damage that wall construction has already inflicted.”

Quote

“It’s been both Democrats and Republicans that have been responsible for the tragedy caused at our borders by the border wall,” said Vicki Gaubeca, director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition. “But we hope Biden can wake up and smell the coffee—not just stop border wall construction, as he has promised to do, but tear it down completely. When we take it down, it should be done in a responsible way that doesn’t further damage the environment.”

Quote

Though they might agree that the wall is a humanitarian, environmental and legal nightmare for would-be immigrants, landowners and Native American tribes, some advocates say that their primary focus is on the dismantling of the legal and procedural barriers that Trump’s administration has constructed—rather than the literal ones.

Well she's basically Trump in drag.  Uneducated, racist, xenophobic, lying, science denying conspiracy theorist.  Somehow Trump became the future.  Why not her?

Why are all you trying to make this woman the future of the Republican Party?  She very well may not last her full term.  

Because she is a new member of congress that obviously garnered enough votes to win.  Those voters obviously loved her Qanon crap that she has spewed.  Qanon also is a major force in the Republican base right now, enough so that very few Republican politicians have denounced them....including their Lord and Savior Trump.

Border communities and activists consider it “an attack on our heritage and our identity.” But Biden hasn’t pledged to uproot it.

 

Don't see much in the article about Dems in Congress wanting to tear it down...

 

Edit: looks like @RedDenver beat me to it.  And much more eloquently.

I watched this segment on The Hill. At about the 6:00 minute mark they discuss what Trump has turned a populist movement/ideology into. Saagar warns that she has become an accurately representative representative. Meaning what she believes, many other people in the GOP base believe. Whether it's being a Sandy Hook truther, 9/11 truther, or a Stoneman Douglas truther, she is a believer in these being false flag events. At about 10:35 mark he makes the statement that "She, by far more than anyone else in the caucus, represents the future of the party."
