Ordinary Americans? Nope. Rank and file? Nope. Their rabid base? Nope. Getting elected is the only thing that matters no matter who gets fucked in the process.
Every politician has constituents. The constituency could be a fickle mob with some superficial commonality of interest that in theory can turn out a lot of votes, or a calculating group of consistent interests with resources and cunning to assemble enough votes from what appears to be disparate constituencies to rule.
The reason why republicans don’t look like they care about anything but clinging to power is the interest of constituency they really care is not served by revealing or admitting itself to be a consistency, nor to be tarred by their own real interests which would otherwise be made clear.
If it is a class struggle where number of votes still carry some weight, it is tactically wise for the privileged to not admit to be, or too clearly reveal itself to the dim witted to being, a cohesive constituency acting against the interests of the majority.
Those are the people who think a million lesser women dying of delegitimized abortion, a million people from the lesser classes dying of Covid or a shooting every other day in schools for those unable to afford private education is an infinitesimal prices to pay, beneath even the notice of contempt, to secure a coalition to safeguard their own infinitely more important interests, because the mob is so distracted by vacuous slogans born of ideologies conceived to deceive.
