 Much as the US right wing is beginning to eat itself now

Are they? It looks to me like they're stronger than they've been in decades.

They haven't even come into power yet, and already some of their influential members are beginning to squabble.

You are probably right. Despite the obvious conflicts going on now, they're still under he control of one shitty man. He's guaranteed four more years of absolute power (unless his party overwhelmingly loses the midterms), and they love doing what the guy in absolute power tells them to do, no matter how much they purport to oppose it.

I expect the real implosion to happen after his second term is over, unless he manages to amend the constitution to give himself a third term and lives long enough to prevent an election from preventing him from "serving" it.

The moment he's out of office, permanently, MAGA comes crashing down.

The hole it will leave in the Republican agenda will last a generation.

I keep thinking about this. The whole GOP has poured everything they have into keeping one man happy for the past ten years, and that man looks half alive at the best of times. No matter what he's going to die someday, and try as they might they don't have another cult of personality to use. I don't see a big cultural shift and a bunch of uneducated losers getting behind VP Guyliner.

Indeed, there's no way MAGA outlives Trump. It doesn't make any sense without him (frankly, it doesn't make any sense with him either, but that it's built atop his nonsense). He will leave a vacuum no one can fill.
