Conservatives have to fight against both the Democrats and the GOP. If that is not obvious to everyone by now then you aren’t paying attention. We know now why Trump was rocked by “crisis” after “crisis” and non-stop investigations. The GOP coordinated with the left to destroy his every policy. I’m surprised he succeeded at the level that he did. The GOP was just as worried as the left at the possibility that Trump would stop their gravy train and expose to the voters their culpability in destroying our nation.
While what you state is true, it is also somewhat of an indictment against 45 for not going scorched earth while in office. Yes, it could have gotten ugly (uglier!) and we could have faced a constitutional crisis (been there) but the flag would have been planted further into enemy territory.
