The groups trying to destroy American are not homogeneous in their goals. We have techbros, oligarchs, xtian nationalists, cowardly & greedy congressmen, true believers/followers, incels, etc. My point is they are all motivated by various things.

The groups trying to destroy American are not homogeneous in their goals. We have techbros, oligarchs, xtian nationalists, cowardly & greedy congressmen, true believers/followers, incels, etc. My point is they are all motivated by various things. Pure lust for power, greed, racism, misogyny, etc. My question is how do we turn them on each other and then watch them destroy each other? Bannon vs. Musk is a good example; now if we could only create and cause similar exponential infighting we could resist and regain ground. Thoughts?
" My question is how do we turn them on each other and then watch them destroy each other?"
This morning Heather Cox Richardson documents how Mike Rogers and Roger Wicker, many other Congressional Replublicans have called out Trump on national security. Mike Turner R Ohio and many others in essence call Trump a liar re Putin and Ukraine.
We only need a few to have shared government -- without Trump/Vance. Besides national security, consituents and donors have to be pissed about Musk/DOGE. The entire cattle industry is in panic and so should about 20 Republican senators and dozens of House members in cow country. Every car dealer and the big three should be pissed about Trump's Tesla infrormercial.
Given enough rope….but the clock is ticking and we can’t keep throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks. Hopefully the Social Security and Medicare threat will be the turning point. Congress has to be made to really, deeply fear We The People more than the oligarchs
You are correct, Still Resisting, about the heterogenity of MAGAts, but they are united in their one goal, to own the libs (and that stands for many things), there is nothing like that unites the left. the left is fragmented, each coalition demands prominence and attention, like it is the only thing in society that matters.
Stop the genocide in Israel, feed Ukraine to the Russian bear.
Gay rights and marriage for homosexuals and lesbians, but fuck off transsexual.
Green energy, stop the pollution, don't drive your car and don't worry about earning a living, we have to save the planet and the whales.
One groups paramount interest works against another factions paramount interest.
Whereas on the right, no factions paramount interest works against other groups paramount interest, and to the extent that they do, such billionaires exploiting the working class, there attention is diverted to the "greater threat" like trans and immigrants.
Knock on any right wing forum, be it twitter, face book, reddit, telegram, 4chan and the primary topic is trans and immigrants, then Jews, as threats to manliness.
The gorilla in the zoo is flinging feces, and until that feces plops them in the face, they won't have a clue that the gorilla might be able to climb over the fence and get them.
Point taken so maybe there are two questions: how do we pit them against each other and how do we coalesce around a few common goals/causes? The Social Security threat may be one of the best opportunities to kick start a real cohesive resistance into a common goal. A true leader who can identify, prioritize and communicate is desperately needed and I still do not see one. Time is not on our side, either.
