Demwits in congress are all lefties (or they’d better be, or get canceled). We have no such common denominator.
Our side is trifurcated: country club pubbies, Christian right pubbies and libertarian pubbies. None of them like each other very much. Christian right and libertarian pubbies are poles apart, and insist on their own peculiar purities. Country club pubbies care mostly about commerce, fiscal soundness and smooth operations.
There is no common bond except love of country. Now, I’d expect them to pull together if for no other reason than that; but so far, no go.

Years ago it was said that a big tent was welcoming to many diversities.(paraphrasing )
now that the camel was allowed under the tent, we have the mess we see today.
If I recall, the architect of that grand design also sat on the couch with pelosi reaching a consensus on the dire threat imposed by global warming. That same person today stabbed Gaetz in the back for calling McCarthy out for his broken promises.
There are several things the establishment of both parties are totally okay with -- illegal immigration, using our foreign policy to make money for themselves, donors and defense industry, massive deficit spending and using Deep State to try to destroy Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
The GOP civil war is about whether or not we're going to have party that represents its base and its chosen candidate.
