This follows another Republican ethos:

Tit-for-tat.

This solution to the iterated prisoners dilemma is necessary when dealing with a partner who won’t follow agreed rules — ie, when trust is compromised.

So Republican groups are “defecting too” in response to Democrat actions they believe break agreed upon rules — eg, civil rights and open markets.

I hate this approach. The victim from this sort of political theatre isn’t “democrats”, it’s everyday people who just want a functioning government without this sort of distraction.

Residents of border districts seem to believe that it was to their benefit for politicians to bus immigrants to other cities — because it forced those cities to stop ignoring the problem. Eg, NYC was vocal about demanding more migration until they had to face migrants themselves — now it’s an “emergency”.

I think what you hate about this approach is that it makes you the recipient of the bad policy your elected officials normally inflict on others.

But that’s the point:

You won’t stop voting for politicians who engage in that kind of behavior until you also experience it’s negative effects.
