The Republican Party, financed by oligarchs, have long wanted to destroy any part of the government which required taxation and regulation. They have been thwarted for generations to eliminate the social safety net and agencies like the EPA through normal legislative means, because those entities generally have public support.

Republicans in Congress see Trump for what he is, but they also see a once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve their ideoligical and corporate goals. Billionaires can weather the coming recession, and they don't give a damn about the voters who gave Trump the throne.

The religious right sees their best opportunity to enforce their own narrow minded version of Christianity on the country.

White supremicists and bigots of every stripe who felt oppressed during decades of progress in racial and gender civil rights feel liberated to once again express their hatred, and they love Trump for it.

The vast majority of Trump voters will be badly hurt by his regime, but they were too ignorant and filled with disinformation to see it coming.
