Here's what's going to happen over the next decade.
The Republican party is going to get overhauled. For the first time since Reagan (arguably since Hoover) the party base has a clear, coherent vision of what it wants. Senators and Reps are going to be judged in the primaries based on how they responded.
The same thing that the neocons did in 1994, the nat-pops are going to do in 2022. Republicans that showed their Trumpism to be only skin deep are going to get the boot and their replacements will look much more like the party we want.
There was always going to be a war with the tradcons and the neocons over control of the party. But I am convinced that they will lose the coming primary fight.
The problem is not the federal level. You're correct that level is broken, but it's always been broken.
The problem is the party, and at that level, you're wrong.
We have the ability to make a MAGA republican party, and it will happen. And once it does a lot of options will be available that were not achievable with a neocon GOP.
I want to emphasize: I don't want war. But I do want to see the dissolution of the Union, and the only way that is going to happen is with a GOP that is willing to stick to a principle.
I believe, I am convinced, that with the right GOP we can split this country without it resulting in bloodshed, because the Dems will not fight to keep it together.
I am okay with that course of action as well. A couple election cycles of scorched earth vote splitting is a decent long term strategy, certainly it will put fear in the tradcons to STFU about abortion and gay marriage (cuz they lost that war decades ago) and get on the national populism train.
Uh, no.

That's an overly narrow view.

there are rumors about a new "patriot" party. That sounds better than sticking with the Republican one.
There are.
