Which, in a sense, makes their roles as "lawmakers" obsolete and irrelevant.
I would like to put a strong emphasis on the contradiction here. They only derive their capacity to serve us from the above list of essential items and the rule of law that the Constitution is the bedrock for and have no power or influence beyond that in this system.
If they are going to continue on that route in an act of desperation in a collective way, they are making themselves antithetical and obsolete. If this becomes clear and obvious to more citizens, regardless of the bravado and sound and fury, it will have a lasting impact on the GOP and its self-destruction.
If they continue this reckless and obstinate routine, they could be digging their own grave as a party and the future will not be compatible with their antediluvian mindset. They are casting themselves as dinosaurs and their views and policies are like a meteor.
I say that from my observations. What I think we are seeing is a very conspicuous, last-ditch effort to grab power, not represent us, but to wrest it from us. While that may seem upsetting and even frightening, it might be a part of the process of deprecation and decay for that party. If their battle is going to be against the Constitution and We the People, so be it! Those are grounds for a united response that they are provoking each step of the way.
Let's hold onto the narrative here and frame this correctly as we move forward. We have our values, patriotism, intelligence, democracy and our respect for the rule of the law as our fuel, shields, guides and they all stand on the side of truth and justice and that's not a meme or an opinion, that's our foundation and its still strong. They beat in all of our hearts and resonate with conviction in our minds.
Let's do this!
