    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.
