The Partisan Divide on Issues

Now, the Trump faction seems resurgent.  The establishment is taking Trump’s ability to primary out elected officials seriously.  They seem ready to latch on to extremism to avoid this fate.

This seems a bad choice for the Republicans.  They might hold on to primary victories this way, but they still have to win the general election.  I don’t see the general population thrilled by extremism.  If the Democrats manage to attack to crisis problems decently and the Republicans become ever so extreme, the current extremely narrow political balance should head more the Democrat’s way.

As I told, there's not going to be much of a struggle when the vast majority of the Republican base supported Trump through thick and thin and damn near defeated the Democratic establishment without the full support of the GOP establishment. I don't know why you would think a more radical Democratic party would not be countered by a more radical Republican party these days. Lack of common sense or wishful thinking? I've heard the support for Trump among Republicans (primarily Republican women) has risen substantially since Biden has taken office and revealed his intentions. So, other than a Supreme Court that's useless since the Constitution is no longer recognized as the governing authority by the party in power, what is the American population's only option? Like I said Bob, you are on the wrong side of an impending conflict with all of America and all of its power. Unfortunately, you don't have enough decent/normal Democrats who have courage left in Washington DC these days. So, a violent conflict is pretty much inevitable. As I recall, American forces stood down and remained idle as Berlin was conquered by barbarians. So, how close are the Woke's to being like the Nazi's or Bolsheviks or any other political cult with its own ideas, way of thinking and way of doing things vs the American way these days?
