I'm with Deborah. They control the entire US government. Control of the supreme court was given to the winner of the presidency. Republicans held on to the Senate and the house. They have the means to change everything in our country. Much of that rests with the president because of how often Obama had to use the executive orders - Trump can undo all of our progress with his signature.
The means is more than there, and the motive is the "whitelash" that we have been hearing about. For 8 years these people had to watch as their disgusting agenda got stopped in its tracks, all of Bush's mistakes undone, and the country go in the right direction. This is exactly how the Southern Stratagey works. Poor whites get pissed off when minorities like blacks, women, and LGBT make advances and become socially equal to men and WASPs. They're desperately looking to make an adjustment to fix all of the good that has been done in order to reclaim white male supremacy in society.
