I would be more sanguine if I thought that the people driving this train wreck had actual policy goals -- but I see no evidence of such aims. The only apparent goal of the GOP is to foment whatever political and economic chaos they can to ensure that they take office next election, this time for good.

I suppose you might stretch the notion of "policy" to include "overthrowing electoral democracy and replacing it with a one-party, white grievance oriented kleptocracy in the tradition of what existed in the Solid South from reconstruction to the civil rights era" -- but that would be much the same as saying a drug cartel has a "policy" of promoting the use of addictive drugs.
