Why do Republicans keep winning? They don't care about the rules.

by Hayes Brown

There's a certain level of terrible creativity at work in the GOP's latest moves. From the local level to the Supreme Court, Republicans and their appointees show they are willing to bend or break any rule — or make up new ones altogether — so long as they can remain in power. It's why the Texas abortion law came into effect — and why democracy itself is so threatened, Hayes Brown writes.

"It doesn’t matter that only a third of the country wants Roe v. Wade overturned, that districts in Texas have been gerrymandered so no Democrat can undo the ongoing changes or that a majority of votes may no longer win an election," Brown writes. "Their power begets power, entrenching them and their policies into place."
