You highlight an interesting dilemma! 'Culture war' topics are definitely popular among Republican circles because they are very effective at mobilizing non-voters (people who feel they are right wing but don't usually head out to cast a ballot on election day). By presenting an ever compounding list of reasons why their way of life is under attack, Republicans can stoke the fire under their bellies and get 'small c' conservatives to respond.

In terms of addressing this, I'd like to see more media companies taking on a role to redefine the popular discourse surrounding these issues. It doesn't help - or perhaps does help, depending on who you ask - when every night left wing commentators go on to their own shows and 'slam dunk' on the latest Tucker Carlson tirade. We don't all need to sit down and sing Kumbaya, but from my own experience it's far easier to reach across the isle when you start with demonstrating empathy about their fears (e.g., living in an America that you feel is culturally leaving your way of life behind). From here, you can start breaking down the stereotypes that *they* have heard (e.g., that CRT will villainize white people) and start getting them to question the right wing hyperbolic rhetoric that you are describing.
