A Republican Party Divided

Trump’s re-election has revealed a divide within the GOP. On one side, there is the unwavering loyalty of his base, which remains steadfast in its support for his leadership. On the other side, there are Republicans who worry about the impact of his policies on the country under his increasingly authoritarian leadership. Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s warning about the U.S. entering an “authoritarian slumber” is more relevant than ever. These tensions continue to bubble within the GOP, with some members openly challenging Trump’s vision for the country, while others follow his lead without question.
