For at least the past two generations, Republicans have depended on the Religious Right types to support them, and they have been very dependable, despite the fact that very few of them have enough money that they were not working against their own best interests. For them, it didn’t have anything to do with economics, because they were convinced that the Republicans believed in the Family Values agenda- anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc. Somehow they managed not to notice that once Republicans were elected, they completely ignored that agenda, or make it a trade-off for securing the goals of the 1%ers who were controlling the Republican party. In fact, they rarely mentioned those issues unless they were using them as a bargaining chip—- until the next time they needed volunteers, when it again became their mantra.After at least 40 years, the Religious Right finally figured out that the Establishment Republicans were playing them for fools, which created the current situation. The fact that they are considering Donald Trump, who has the Family Values credentials of an extremely active tomcat, is an indication of just how desperately they hate the establishment.It is going to be interesting to see how many of these people who are, in their own minds at least, a moral shining light actually are able to overlook the fact that they are voting for a person who has no morals at all.
Republicans are fond of demanding loyalty oaths either in support of their nominee, or in regard to how they will vote after a negotiation that is just starting.
I guess they don’t trust each other. Probably based on a true assessment of their leaders.
I always thought that one should just promise to do what they think is best for the country (and not necessarily the party). If GOP ‘supporters’ are not happy with trusting to their judgement, they should find someone they can trust. Could be a tough time finding one.
It will be interesting to see how often they use this brain shackling tactic in the future!
