    How do they not see

    They see it. They don’t care. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that modern American conservatives want whats best for America and just disagree with the rest of us on what that is or how to do it. This is a naked power grab on multiple fronts, from rigging the supreme court to trying to give state legislatures the right to ignore the results of an election all the way to committing acts of terrorism in trying to deny Joe Biden the presidency. They want a white supremacist religious autocracy. They want to establish a ruling class that they are members of, and a ruled class that they can freely abuse under color of law. Everything they say that sounds reasonable, like “save the children” or “states rights” or “small government” is a smokescreen, so that complacent cishet white liberals can justify not getting involved because they don’t think that the terrorists will come for them personally. At CPAC they gathered under a banner that said “We Are All Domestic Terrorists”. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
