They say it's about abortion/saving babies, but it's not.

1. It's about control over women's lives through their bodies.
2. It's about control over lower income families by re-directing their money to children they can't afford.
3. It's about stopping sex-without-consequences. A Puritan is someone is worried that you're having more fun than they are.

What they really care about is punishing those slutty women for fucking.

I doubt half of all right-wingers actually give a shit about abortion one way or another. For them, it's all about getting vengeance. Owning the libs and making them cry is their raison d'etre. "You took our president and now we're going to take something from you." They aren't complex creatures.

as they watched how Trump smashed-and-grabbed without real consequence on the spot... and they are the reason there were no consequences.

They are insatiable in their quest to destroy everything as they gut our traditions, our laws, our institutions, our liberty, our rights.
They will mow down everyone including those closest to them as they seek to drain the power and purse of anyone who has something they want; whether it is a corporation with big profits, a political rival with momentum or a dime in a poor persons pocket just because they think it is theirs to be had.

How many millions they have made from "fundraisers" is immaterial. They know that it works. Making bank. That's all they really want.
