The democratic party has some of the same issues to me. Not talking about their politics vs. republican politics, moreso, regarding how the party is somewhat split between "moderate" democrats and the more liberal wing of the party, i.e. AOC, etc. I don't really agree with either of them, so I don't know how that party will look in 4 or 8 years, but should be just as interesting to see how it unfolds.
If Trump didn't spend 98% of his time fighting people and posting on Twitter, he might've got some more things done.
I like Rick Santorum, that's who I wanted in 2016. By the time the CA primaries got here in 2016, he wasn't even on the ballot out here.
But I liked the idea of Trump not being a career politician. I don't want old cronies like Biden or Clinton becoming president. Or Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, etc.
I hope Trump doesn't dissuade conservatives from voting for someone outside of the box again down the road. Don't want to pretend like the status quo has been so great for us.

Definitely, 100% agree. Dems have their own party split incoming, the socialist Dems vs. moderate Dems like Pelosi. So far moderation is winning, but give us another 10-20 years of income inequality and inequal treatment of minorities and we will see continued growth by the far left.
No easy answers here but maybe this is the start of a new 3-4 party system, radical conservatives, moderates, and radical dems.
