What if you wrote this same type of thread about the Democrats? While there was unity among Democrats to get rid of Trump clearly there are divisions among party members. Understandably, it's always easier (and more fun) to talk about the troubles and challenges of the other party.
I could start a similar thread and talk about Democrats of the past and how they wouldn't fit into the party today etc. etc. Everything I say could be 100% true but do you think a bunch of Democrats are going to want to agree with a Republican about an assessment of their party? Most likely not.

Democrats definitely have their own problems.
But there problem isn't a reality problem. The Democrats have an issue right now w/ their progressive wing, which has grown more powerful.
It's something they have to figure out. But Republicans have gone off the rails. There is a difference.

Good points.
The democrats started fracturing during the Obama years when the radical left started feeling their oats. In fact, the left wing of the democrat party was well to the left of Hillary by 2016 and it would have been interesting to see if she could have United the party had she won. Thankfully, we’ll never know the answer to that but it’s doubtful she could have.
The leftward lurch started under Obama and it was like the election of President Donald J. Trump in 2016 threw gasoline on the fire. Prior to that, the left advocated for things like gay marriage [how sanely benign does that seem now?] now they want to defund the cops, teach gender madness, tear down monuments, cancel speech they don’t agree with and spend tax payer money in ways that would have made any democrats of twenty years ago look like fiscal conservatives.
The democrats split is different than the republican split if for no other reason than there are no ‘radical Republicans’: we have MAGA Republicans and some leftover country club Republicans like Romney. Also, MAGA won our civil war while the left’s is ongoing. There’s nothing ‘radical’ about putting this country’s interest ahead of global interests and/or doing everything possible to get manufacturing jobs back here from China or Mexico. Ronald Reagan might disagree with some of our methods or finer points but no way would he think it was ‘radical’.
It’s just the opposite of radical.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017
dems also want to teach critical race theory, and open the borders to anyone that can walk in
Biden never ever talks about being competitive in the world ( except for "China is not threat just a competitor")
Dems want to raise corp taxes to levels higher then China -how does that bring investment into the USA?
it doesn't

Trump and Conservatism's "economic nationalism" ended the longest economic expansion in America's history.
It's official: Recession began in February, ending longest U.S. expansion ever
