What Is The Ultimate End Game Of The GOP? [View all]

Have they ever discussed that out in the open? Right now they have 2/3 of the House, Senate, and they have the presidency and SCOTUS. Have they proposed any amendments? No. Have they done anything with their supermajority? No. Have they contributed anything meaningful to society other than demonizing the other side? No. But they've never stated what their ultimate goal is. I've been trying to figure this out. All they want to do is cut spending, cut spending, cut spending. Meanwhile they're tripling the deficit, and nearly tripling the military budget. But they've never offered any viable alternatives for the things they've cut. They want to declare war on Iran and North Korea but they never state why. They have been in Iraq and Afghanistan for 16 years but we're still unclear on what the end game is there. Trump initiated the travel ban on Islamic countries but he never stated why he's doing this. Trump very badly wants to build that wall... but why? Republicans want to go after universities, but they never state why they're doing these things. So what is their end game? What do they plan to do once they have it all? I want to know! You would think once they got the majority, they'd have a plan in place, but they don't. They're a party without a clue. They're like the Joker in the movie "The Dark Knight" - they're dogs chasing cars, they wouldn't know what to do with one once they caught it. But now they have caught it, and literally, they don't know what to do with their power. Seriously... what the fuck are they doing?
