Whoever is driving the Republican party so far so fast to the right is using it like explosives

Political parties are just tools to be used in pursuit of an agenda, we tend to think of tools as things you use carefully in order to preserve them for later use but not all tools are like that.

Explosives for instance are a powerful form of tool that is used once destructively and then is unavailable to be reused. If you need more of that tool you go and buy more. Whoever is driving the Republican party is using it more like explosives than what we normally think of as tools such as pliers, a wrench or a screwdriver. Clearly someone who would use a tool in such a manner believes that they can buy more of the tool once the Republican party is blown to pieces.
