Fascism is on the ballot

There is a split.  The White House, the racists, the establishment looking to keep hold of the base, the elitists, the Trump base, are mostly with Trump.  Many establishment types openly hated Trump when he was seeking the nomination, supported him out of fear of reprisal and to get support of the Trump base.  Now they are looking to survive Trump's crash without inviting retribution.  How to seem loyal without seeming loyal?  Loyalty to Trump gains you support of his base, but the enmity of the bigger faction that sees his failings.

The true conservatives are temporarily with Biden.  This includes the Lincoln Project, the Republicans Against Trump, VoteVets and the like.

You seem to be unusual in approving of the violence without being racists about it.  Sort of Tea Party rejection of the elite faction and loyalty to Trump without the racism that is often behind it.

To me, the problem is that the political structure at present only allows two viable parties.  Will it be a divide between establishment and liberal Democratic wings, or can one faction gain control of enough conservatives to remain the most viable challenger?  Right now the Democrats are fairly united, but they typically aren't.  We will see what happens when Trump as a common threat is not around.  The Tea Party became enamored of first Palin then Trump.  It seems likely they will become enamored of someone else, but have they learned from their mistakes?
