    You’re mistaken that the right is unified. The fight among each other quite a lot. They can only manage to unite under a charismatic strongman, but quickly fall into infighting when that falters.

      They’re not unified, they’re unified …now?

      The fact that they have conflicting ideologies (e.g. Nazis and Zionists as I said below) and continue to push in the same direction is pretty straightforward evidence of this.

      The unification pre-dates Trump - the rise of the tea party saw ideological rifts, but they all fell in line when the time came. Bush wasn’t a charismatic strongman… nor was McConnell for that matter.

        You only think they’re pushing in the same direction because you’re on the outside looking in. As the op points out, they think the same about leftists.

          What issues is the left actually coordinated on? The non-specific “weird” narrative. Access to reproductive healthcare maybe.

          Where is there meaningful dissent on the right?

          • It’s not the obvious “stolen” election bullshit

          • Even the Nazis are backing Israel

          • They’re fighting regulation of firearms

          • They’re all pushing for austerity broadly

          • They want to restrict immigration

          • They want to deregulate companies

          • They want to outlaw trans people

          • They broadly support Russia with a bit of surface-level sabre-rattling
