I don’t think republicans want this. I think all they want is the criminals already identified or caught to actually be prosecuted and not released back on the streets.

They are politicians, they want to look tough on crime no matter the cost. They make the laws. War on drugs is their creation, half the criminals are created by them. Rudi got popular because stop-and-frisk in NYC, for no legitimate reason cops would stop random people and frisk them. This social classist hostility where crime is what the fund-raising class it is and the solution is hostility against "those people" who are the least likely to be in their party is their MO.

Republican voters want whatever “get tough on crime” aligns with. “Repeal bail reform Derp Derp”

The “freedom” stuff is bullshit and narrowly scoped.
