(7,901 posts)It became formalized under Grover Norquist and others who developed and implemented a plan to formalize absolute party loyalty and gain control of state party governments in order to enable single party rule in America by controlling and distorting redistricting to favor permanent republican majorities.
They have been marching down this road for more than 40 years and the major corporate financiers of the party were onboard with it as long as they got their perks and did not get exposed for knowing collaboration. They shared the same goals after all: dominion over the earth's resources and wealth by any means, and the subjugation of laborers and governments to suit.
