It comes down to this. The Republican Party only cares about power and will only support democracy as long as it reflects back their will. When it stops, they’ll destroy it.
This is about domination at all costs, principles don’t enter into it. They’ll happily eat their own.

People have to stop trying to view American politics through this “liberal vs. conservative lens.” The principles are window dressing, a means to an end.

What so many willingly or unwillingly have yet to understand is that hypercapitalism and white supremacy’s hold on American reality are slipping.
The Right is aggressively attempting to protect this old reality. Principles don’t enter into it. This is about power.

We’re in the middle of a massive sea-change. The old, fictional reality is splintering. The veneer has crumbled and what remains is a GOP unbound by principles or decency and focused only on retaining power at any cost, including the destruction of democracy and violence.
Do not let these people tell you this is an aberration. It is an inevitable evolution of a party that has based itself for decades on the defense and promotion of white supremacy, hypercapitalism, and antidemocratic ideals.
This is a train coming into station.
