...because they feel a demographic shift away from white, Christian men.

So they seek to end democracy
Replace it with authoritarianism
Rule from the minority

That's why they keep following Trump off the cliff
That's why they are gerrymandering
That's why they embrace Russia
That's why facts don't matter
That's why they are packing the courts
That's why they say "get over it"

It's also why this is so much worse than Watergate. Nixon happened during an era of peak white-male-christian power. The party didn't need to burn down American democracy to keep power.

Today, they believe everything is over if they don't destroy access to power for the party that empowers the majority-minority people.
