To summarize: GOP politicians, like almost all people, act in their perceived self interest. Self preservation is the strongest instinct driving human behavior.
It is unrealistic to expect elected representatives to act contrary to their perceived self-interests. It took progressives more than a century to so shape the culture that politicians perceive their best interest to be to cling to political correctness.
Republicans have been trying to hold the line by top-down politics which are now simply being overwhelmed by the bottom up cultural/demographic revolution done to us by the left. After Trump, the deluge.
The lesson: we've got to change the very same institutions, just as progressives stole those institutions, and get our culture back. Politics is downstream from culture and liberty is downstream from politics.
