Trump and the GOP - both in Arizona and nationally - are really screwed by the Arizona Supreme Court decision on abortion. We keep coming back to how much GOP politicians really believe the shit they spew on Fox News for the rubes. Abortion is a great example of this. Most Republican pols don't actually care; certainly Donald Trump does not give two shits about abortion. He has almost certainly paid for and pressured women into getting them.
However, the GOP has wed itself to an electoral strategy that relies on mobilizing a very narrow range of voters. and that very much includes religious fundamentalist theocrats for whom abortion is of paramount importance. As long as Roe was on the books, they could safely pander to their extremes, but now that Dobbs has erased that, we have more and more examples like Arizona, where the Talibangelicals are making things very uncomfortable for elected officials.
Bless their hearts.
