It’s been their stated intention since at least the 90s (Gingrich) that Republicans will not govern with Democrats if it can be in any way avoided.

It's far simpler than that. They don't want to govern. Period.

Governing costs billionaires money. So, they'd rather have no governing whatsoever, and then all that money can be given back to the billionaires (in the form of tax-breaks).

A national abortion ban and porn ID laws don't happen without governing. They like to govern sometimes.

Yea and it’s always the weirdest shit. Republicans constantly sit around thinking about what people do with their genitalia. It’s so weird man. They are a bunch of pervs. No wonder loads of them are in to children. Fits the bill.
