To be fair, they controlled both the House and the Senate in 2016, too. They didn't have the courts, yet, but they soon did. And they still barely agreed on anything.
Yeah, the GOP is weird because they are all on the same page in terms of talking points (disinformation) and voter suppression, but once they get in power none of them can agree, and none of them take it seriously.
Because you have two primary camps there right now - the corpocratic old guard and the nationalistic new guard. The nationalists were never actually supposed to have power, they were just meant to be an easily manipulable voter base. It's not even the first time they've had an 'inmates running the asylum' situation because the exact same thing happened with racists when they tried the Southern Strategy.
It's a much different GOP this time around. Before Trump was the new guy. The Outsider. This time he is the party. This time everyone has to kiss his ring and owes their entire power base to him.
This time they have to decide who among them will take his mantle in 2028. Whoever it is needs to be ready in 2027, so the hunger games are starting sooner than you think.
