@lemmy.worldThat's your prerogative, of course. But sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good. This is one of those times.
No, there are other things keeping them together, like "starve the beast" tax cuts, racism, and Fascism. They want to make sure that the "others" are sufficiently put in their place.
There may be some collateral damage along the way. Loomer is especially dangerous because she is unaccountable to voters, so is able to do things that a politician looking for votes cannot. But I don't think the occasional slap fight will derail the overall mission of the party to entrench themselves as the ruling class, in spite of their dwindling numbers.
Well, if this causes a problem for Harris in Wisconsin, and Trump wins because of it, all their problems will be magically solved when Trump forcibly deports them regardless of legal status (or even citizenship status).
They will never have to worry about voting for the wrong candidate for President again!
All those more "competent" fascists are simply trying to position themselves for the inevitable post-Trump GOP. God will eventually exercise His Ultimate Veto on Donald Trump. When that happens, the GOP will appear to be divided into folks who double down on Trumpism (like Vance), and folks who are just as evil but will use Trump's absence as a fig leaf to pretend the party has changed (like DeSantis)
This division won't be real at all. It will all be performative, like the Kayfabe in Pro Wrestling, or the factions in Survivor. It will still be racism and Fascism all the way down. But the GOP Reality Show will still need to pretend there is a choice that they can rally the team around.
Yeah, if Harris wins NC then it becomes much harder for Trump to get to 270, even if he ratfucks the vote in GA
Not every team is like that. Since 1969, there have been more Popes than Steelers Head Coaches.
