It is because this is the climax to finally killing the New Deal forever and stripping the government of everything gained in the 1900s.

This is the Republican end game... They are using Trump as cover to destroy everything with him to have everything all their way only. If the United States dies and has to be re-done, then so be it, because they will be the ones deciding everything. Totalitarians don't give a shit about winning fair elections.
