Do the Rethugs ever back off on their reactionary agenda?

In post #61, Q defined the base as "women, blacks, poor, workers, 'gays' and the disenfranchised."

YOU describe it as "those people who will do a lot of volunteer work and donate money frequently in smaller amounts."

Those are often the same people. The conventioneers were drawn from state conventions, where it was very often the case that more than half of the attendees had never been to a party convention before. Why do you want to piss away this energy? I can assure you that they weren't worked up about saving NAFTA and the PATRIOT Act and wars of choice.
