Imho, republicans are not the Joker who just want to see the world burn, they're con artists who are out to make a buck.
Why should they govern when they benefit from malafide-governance (I use this term with utmost seriousness) and by preventing Democrats from governanace? Those who seek to profit from crashing USA's democracy and the civil rights of Americans pay them to make paint USA as a picture of failed democracy.

The conservatives are being clever. They've passed laws banning abortion, forcing women to birth unwanted children who can be forced to provide their labour at lower rates to increase the profit margins of Republican donors.
And we thought they were banning abortions because "every child deserves to live". They aren't pro-life, they're pro-child labour and were simply ensuring their donors don't face a labour shortage.
They're making life for the poors as adventurous & short-lived as a character in a video game. Survived school shootings? Good, now survive being child labour with lax EPA laws. Survived that? Now try to survive on a min. paying job that won't pay your rent, so hello multiple low-wage jobs. Btw, no birth control or sex-ed for you, so that when you die early due to lack of affordable medical care, your children can take your place in the treadmill. Can't let the shareholders down.

Child labour is a crime against humanity. To get to the root of a crime, ask yourself 'Cui bono?' (who benefits?) and you'll know who the criminals are.
DARVO (an acronym for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. It is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers. The right-wing thrives because it is allowed to abuse with impunity.
