The chasm is unbridgeable.

They are all full bore impeachment of Biden and the destruction (often in thinly veiled violent threats) of the Dems and their voters as soon as they take back the House and Senate (their projections are 100% that they will take both back) over the following fake but Rethug-enraging issues:

(all of these are mad as ass, batshit crazy)

Afghanistan

election fraud (the Big Lie)

spying on Trump

critical race theory

the border crisis (i.e.. Biden and the Dems are trying to flood the country with illegal Latinos and other non-whites who will destroy the white American way of life, destroy Western civilisation)

general treason (they say over China ties, collapse of American foreign policy, Russian collusion (LOLOL), etc etc etc)

abortion (they want it nationally outlawed by force of the feds into Blue states if necessary)

inflation caused by Biden and the Dems and their insane spending

anti-Israel stances

persecution of good, good-fearing people, and the attempt to destroy Christian churches (whilst advocation for Saria law and mosque-building)

Biden and the Dems are using big tech and social media to censor and destroy their enemies

COVID Big Lies (either it is fake, or overblown, and the vaxxes are methods of control, same for masques, and Soros and Gates, etc etc are all in a cabal to crush the Freedumbs for good TRUE (read white and fundie) American folk)

SOCIALISM!

COMMUNISM!!!

etc etc etc etc etc etc

They are nuclear-powered bullhorn blast level 24-7

The entire concept of objective truth has been eviscerated.

Zero chance the nation can be put back together again, the cleavages are too vast, too deep, and their side is in full downward slant, grindingly, inexorably, like a billion tonne bulldozer, moving towards a point with they will, given the right inflection points and steerage from above, launch into open kinetic conflict against what they KNOW (via decades of scientific manipulation, reflexive control, and programming) to be the enemy, and an enemy that must be destroyed by any means necessary. It is the ultimate 'othering'.
