The splits in the GOP are more basic than that: they are about accepting the role of science, women, gays and minorities in society.

There will probably always be a regressive element among conservatives, it’s just one of the pit falls of the philosophy. Despite the overused comparisons of Republicans to the Taliban, there’s no youth appeal towards conservatism in the West and these old school dinosaurs won’t be around much longer.
