    So let me get this straight.

    1. Republicans realize they can court religious nuts by switching their position to anti-choice
    2. Religious nuts start switching sides to the Republican party
    3. The entire rest of the country thinks this is toxic like polonium, starts abandoning the party
    4. Rather than change their policy planks, Republicans decide to try to brainwash the rest of the country into being anti-choice too

    What will this fix, for them? I guess I’m confused.

      Tl;Dr: its mostly religious lunacy, bigotry and sadism

      It’s all about forcing white women to produce more white conservative babies to swell their ranks while keeping people of color down by forcing them to have a bunch of children they can’t afford to give a good life.

      And the demonizing of sex for pleasure, of course.

      At least those are the obvious motivations. There’s also the fact that many of them are megalomaniacal sadists who get off on hurting and controlling people, especially women, and don’t much care about anything beyond that.

      You missed a couple steps.

      4 is actually: Religious nuts take over the party. Internal insanity increases, and is increasingly unchecked.

      5: During Obama and Trump, even the Republicans are amazed at how well Fox and others are at propagandizing and convincing people. That means their ideology can go full lies, which is what we now see.
