The second problem for the Republicans is one of math. They are a minority party in a theoretically majoritarian system. If people are allowed to vote freely, and if all those votes are counted, the Republicans have very little chance to hold on to power. They can either change their positions to be more appealing, or they can try to subvert democracy. Time and again, the Republicans have chosen the latter. As the overwhelmingly white GOP stares down a near future where white people are no longer the majority, the Republicans have become brazenly authoritarian.
