It’s easy to see a period of worsened infighting though. Right now, there is a litmus test that’s basically “support whatever Donald Trump tells you to support,” without and coherent ideological basis. When Trump’s gone, who delivers the message about what to believe? I think there will be a lot of disagreement

As is tradition, the one inheriting such an organization devolved to support fascism, bigotry, exploitation and inequality will be whoever most exudes those qualities from the base. A successor can never have the same schtick though, the generally have to push further to stand out. The very nature of extremism’s slippery slope, what follows will be worse until, as op said, the cleansing fire, purge or Mt doom happens.
