It actually makes a lot of sense though. The GOP has been selling scotus as their generational political success, which essentially amounted to mcconnell denying Obama the ability to replace Scalia. So if you’re touting this accomplishment as akin to bringing down the Berlin Wall, why wouldn’t rubes assume it will pay dividends. What is going to happen when these folks get their prize, which is that Alabama and Louisiana will be allowed to force abortion clinics to have emitting privileges or something. And then allow companies to follow the gig economy model and make all their employees contract workers or some other shitty deal for workers.Most of my Bedford County brethren are just saying "Supreme Court" like it's some magical, mystical figure that's going to wave a magic wand and appoint Trump president again.
The coalition contradiction is there for the dems too, but for the gop, trumpism masked a lot of rot while engaging new voters, are these newly activated blocs happy with the legislative agenda of not doing legislation? Probably not, but will eat up trump grievances, so expect that going forward.
