This is a huge paradigm shift. The Republican party went from being an evangelical Christian, tax-cut whackoparty into...
well, without the platform, nobody knows.
A vague blank slate that people can project their hopes onto with no accountability whatsoever.
I mean, yeah. It'll be interesting to see if that means that they'll still pursue those legislative ideals (just without a platform or unifying cry or whatever), or if they're happy to push the responsibility down to the states.
My opinion is that the Republicans see the writing on the wall: why make unpopular decisions federally when you can make popular decisions at the state-level? They can maintain a christofascist state in their home ground without having to project onto states that'll ignore their legislation anyway.
