Virtually Nothing Seems To Hurt Republicans No Matter How Mean, Cruel, Vicious They Are.

8. They cannot stop and they know it.

Their time is likely limited by the coming election. I think the ultimately, Republicans/Conservatives understand that they are actually a minority with out sized influence because their base is small but highly motivated; and because they cheat during elections.

Their agenda at least since the Reagan era, has been to dismantle the federal government, which on a good day, limits their ability to abuse their power against the more vulnerable among us, to allow the wealthiest people to effectively make the rules, and to maintain a system of White Supremacy. That can not be legislated in this day and age like it was in the South and undoubtedly, in many parts of the country in the 18th and 19th centuries, even part of the 20th. To achieve those ends, they have to destroy all of the programs that were created to "equal the playing field" which is why they are in such a hurry to take down government programs.

I think that they know that demographics and the inevitable march of progress are against them so they are trying to entrench themselves as much as possible before their power starts to wane.
