Probably a more classic setup where you have a tax-and-spend faction and a small-government-plus-social-conservative one, with fewer symbolic labyrinths. We already saw symbolic-labyrinth candidates underperform in 2022. Not "moderates" per se but emphasis on the tangible. Current online-weird version of the culture wars probably only meaningfully intersects with power in the next 2T, the old Fox-News-and-MSNBC one is already fading (the actual Fox News was responsible in calling the 2020 election!)
