    Don’t worry, when the Republican party falls apart after Trump loses and the Democrats are the pro-fracking, pro-genocide right wing party there will be space for the union movement to assemble a new left coalition.

      I hope all this actually happens, as the US would be a better place with serious political representation that isn’t different flavours of Conservative. But I won’t be surprised if it does not, plenty of people are happy to vote for bigotry.

        I predicted this back in 2015 when the Democrats started openly conspiring against Bernie. If the 2024 dem incumbent dropped out, not only would Trump lose, but his loss will split the party and the infighting will destroy it.

          Hate fuels Republicans into resisting infighting. They have someone else to hate more.
          I worry that it’s the left which tends to infight themselves into irrelevance.

              They will blame immigrants, gays, and feminists (especially childless women) first. That’s the unifying ‘strength’ of right-wing politics: ignorant hate.

                The “unifying strength” of fascism is it’s enforcement of a hierarchy, and Trump’s supporters hate losers more than anyone else. When he loses, they are going to blame everyone but especially the “moderate” anti-Trump republicans. They’ll destroy their own party trying to root out the unfaithful.
