With heavy factionalism, anywhere from center-left vanilla Dems to far-left, they have competing, conflicting views and ideologies, some factions claiming they’re better than others by virtue or purity, and of course distrusting each other. There’s a loss of focus, so instead of dealing with an enemy determined to end their existence, they constantly scrutinize others’ supposed moral purity and looking for skeletons in the closet.

Meanwhile, the horrible but seemingly unified far-right – white, Christian, full of machismo – have a definite goal of achieving totalitarianism, and only after they wipe out the opposition do they would split into factions and fight over the spoils. Familiar, huh?
