Republicans have incentive to harm Americans (which they keep doing). Stress, uncertainty, and anxiety can all make people more conservative. The real question is if republicans are doing calculated harm or genuinely believe their policies are good.
I genuinely think most republicans lawmakers only ever believe they’re helping people when they pass laws designed to make America more purely white and Christian
