Yeah, that's certainly a big part of it. They just don't care -- the usual suspects have convinced them that they're in a "war" (literally), and in war, the ends justify the means.The worst of it is that the Republican Party does the opposite of what it promotes. The party of "small government" has expanded the size of government in each of its Administrations. The party of "fiscal responsonsibility" runs up huge deficits every time they're in power, and 3 of the last 4 Republican Presidents have crashed the economy.
So it's not about advancing conservatism or making anything better. It's just about "winning" their "war".
They've become like Jihadis: Just destroy and figure things out later. And it's spreading across the spectrum.
