      The right has started to eat itself alive. Only the most “ideologically pure” remain, and ideological purity in MAGA terms means not trusting anything except whatever they make up in the moment, which leads them to not trust each other. This is making it really difficult for them to agree on much of anything, which is why they have no political platform and do nothing except obstruct
