The fact the you would bring up Liz Cheney pretty much invalidates any opinion you might have of the Republican Party. There’s a reason that disgusting and vile thing is now “teaching” at a radical left wing training school.

I heard she speaks of the enemy within, wants Hitler's Generals on staff and is keen to remove the licences from media outlets that talk about that.

At least you and I can agree how vile and disgusting that behaviour is.

The maga faction is... Based on polls and 2020s results... Bigger than the 'real' republican party you're supposing exists

Thank you for supporting my point.

    the top 100 political articles from WaPo and the NYT from this year ...

are not "anti Republican", they are "anti MAGA", just as many non MAGA Republicans also are.

That's simply not likely. 75 million voters went for Trump in 2020. That's almost half the voters. It's unlikely that there's 75 million voters out there that are not Democrats or Trump supporters. If that is the case, Bidens support should either have been higher or there should have been at least that many blank ballots, or alternatively, Bidens 80 million votes is half Democrats and half anti Trump Republicans, in which case, the Democratic party, which historically is the larger party, is all but dead

The USofA has antiquated First-past-the-post system; this is largely how a system founded by people opposed to party politics spiralled into a two party non representative bog hole.

Being opposed to MAGA and simply not supporting MAGA doesn't make a voter pro-Democratic Party nor does it mean they want to waste their vote on a minor Libertarian or other third party with the result that Democrats win.

The US electoral system fosters the stupidity that results .. the still Republican anti-MAGA are (mostly) afraid to vote Democrat, minority parties aren't viable, and popular opinion and public support for various policy is never reflected in legislation.

If the US had a better electoral system it'd see better outcomes.
