Maybe her and Tucker can form a new party and split the conservative vote and send all of them into the wilderness for decades.

They are all so fucking crazy. It's not at all surprising they have a difference of opinion over doctrinal issues. First of all, most of the shit the cons say they care about, they do not really care about: small government, freedom, liberty, the Constitution, non-interventionism, free markets, etc...what really motivates much of the conservative "movement" is about racism.

So when someone like Donvict steps out of line on something like tariffs and attacking Iran, it's not surprising some peel off, while others stay, because as long as the important kernel of conservatism is there - which is the racism (xtian nationalism) - many will stay. But Tucker and MTG also have the important kernel of xtian nationalism, too....so what is a conservative to do, LOL?

Given their RWA (right wing authoritarian) character flaws, most RWAs will tend to line up behind someone deemed to be a "strong leader", so that's the dangerous thing.

But if there are two prominent right wing conservative parties (The Republican Party, and The Teabagger 2.0 Party under Tucker and Marge) with two cult of personalities leading them, hopefully they'd split all the RWAs for a while.
