I think it matters because they do succeed at it when they try, for example wealth inequality and corporate profits have increased significantly over time. If they win they’ll make it worse, it’s real.
The GOP coalition isn’t a bunch of idiots deceived into voting against their interests. I mean, some probably are. But the core is a bunch of people who have been convinced that sacrificing one less important interest will give them a big win in passionately held goal. This gives nobility to the harms, because they are choosing harm for their belief in the greater good.

I think this matters, but also doesn’t. We gotta vote and rally people against this or it stands a chance of happening.
People have been deceived into voting against their best interests for decades and that effort has been helped by the rise of controlled cable news.
A history of fighting this and mostly winning gives us poor assurance it won’t happen in our life time - or largely by this time next year.

My sister, who lives with my mom is avidly pro-Trump. Anti-socialist, you know the drill.
Every dollar entering that address is government. Sister teaches, moms on Social Security. But abortion. And gender.
Things that will never directly impact my sister.
The core of the GOP didn’t want Trump.
