I think part of the reason for this is that the old guard GOP that used Roe and similar issues as the “carrot on a stick” or car to chase, used to have the power to keep it from happening, so they could keep campaigning on it. But the “younger” GOP bought the BS for all those years and now they have the power to catch the car, not realizing it was always just a voter motivational tool, never a real plan. They just saw the old guard GOP as “swamp” that wasn’t doing what they campaigned on, and rode the Trump wave into power for themselves, and are there to catch all the carrots.
