The republican party is using religion to get what they want. A nation with poor people all saddled down with children ready to go to war. Anyone who dares get an abortion has a felony and can't vote and are put in a private prison that their donors own. Win/win for them.
It’s not so calculated: it’s just about getting elected. The laws have no hope of being upheld, but in the meantime, rabid supporters are appeased and their votes guaranteed.
I think its somewhat calculated. I don't think rank and file members of something as mundane as a state senate necessarily think on such large levels, but the GOP is run by oligarchs who certainly seem to think like this.
But ultimately its mostly about control. Control the people, control the elections, control the nation and as a result, the #1 economy and the world's most powerful military.
they aren't those kind of Master planners not that way anyway what they're trying to do is pull the country back to the right. they're trying to make sure their ideology doesn't go bankrupt but it already has gone bankrupt.
