As the Hierarchy Conservators (political and social conservatives who want to conserve hierarchies) are now objecting to Paul Ryan as the next Speaker of the House, the question is, "How far right will they go?" They are accusing Ryan of being too far to the left.
The Republicans, as by far the most strong supporters of hierarchies, have had to move farther out as they try to balance the majority of Americans who want to see the lessening effect of hierarchies.
In a party that supports hierarchies, we are now seeing a struggle to demonstrate just how extremely they support hierarchies. The stand against Planned Parenthood is just one example of their efforts to keep hierarchies alive and well, in this case, the gender hierarchy desiring women to be barefoot, pregnant, and dependent upon men.
