devils advocate here, i don’t see what these people have to gain from disagreeing with each other. like isn’t the foundation of their whole thing “yes and” like they’re all on the same page because they work for the same agendas. Is it trying to hold on to the base for their bigger picture even if it means throwing don under the bus? maybe they’re showing their willingness to sacrifice dt to maintain maga.
I think they both have two motives: they are ideologues (neoliberal, fascist), and they are self-interested. MOST of the time, those interests align - at least enough to cooperate. But when they stop aligning to the point that any loyalty that exists is strained, then things fall apart.
But MAGA was built on conspiracy theories and their messianic leader isn’t looking so messianic. If the Epstein files aren’t released to confirm their belief in a Democrat deep state sex trafficking pedophile ring then what was it all for? And questioning their beliefs or any kind of introspection is impossible for them. Either a new leader will be chosen, Trump smooths things over with them, or MAGA fractures into various factions.

what’s next? my guess, China. I’ve been seeing a large increase of fluff reporting China as “winning” and “growing”.
It’s not fluff, they stand to gain the most from our downfall.

In short nothing.
