The scary answer is they don’t think about it. I’m sure many of them genuinely believe it is the best way forward and their legacy will be secured in the future. To them, the ends justify the means.
Perhaps some of them will have a change of heart later in life, but the damage will have already been done at that point.
Then again, there are other Rs that have been this way their entire lives and show no sign of stopping their hate anytime soon (McConnell, for example), so I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
