In a way, that's correct. However, the Left is good at inventing cardboard adversaries that they can then slay.

In this case, the victorious Left would simply demonize the people in their own movement who aren't "progressive enough."

And yes, they almost certainly will stigmatize them and neutralize them by calling them Rightists, etc. just as they characterize even moderate Republicans as the "Far Right" or worse these days.
As far a stigmatizing moderate Republicans goes, I think the Right is far ahead of us.

The fact that it started in China and may in fact have been invented in China has nothing to do with it being called the China Virus, huh?

It shouldn't matter! The way Trump uses it is to degrade a nation. Just look at the way he says it. Do we call H1N1 the Mexican virus?

Why must we stoop to the level of Trump?

China isn't exactly a nation I hold in high regard. They certainly don't hold us in high regard, but we stupidly allow them to make who knows how much of the stuff we use, and they depend on that quite a bit.

I certainly hope that the Republican Party can pull itself back together after Trump, so that I can go back to thinking of it as the party for political conservatives, rather than the party for fans of crazy conspiracy theories.

It wasn't "invented" in China, it just originated there. The international virology and infectious disease community has moved away from using geographic origin names to avoid stigmatizing people from those places as carriers of the disease or contaminated.

We can hope. But it won’t happen because America is simply too open for expression

If they ever focus on being a party of economic conservatism again, they could dominate politics for a very long time. It’s all the extreme social conservatism and downright racism/xenophobia that has brought them to the brink of destruction.

An old school family values level of social conservatism combined with solid economic conservatism would be mana from heaven to the increasingly vast Latino population. And let’s face it, America is extremely conservative anyway, which is why this idea that the Democrats are somehow ‘socialists’ is so funny to anyone who has ever actually experienced any kind of socialism.

Nah.

There area lethality millions of people who support all his actions. Or may not be a majority, but it clearly represents a significant portion of the American culture.

His kind is conservatism will be going strong for some time.
Trump is not a conservative.

Could be. This age is wrapping up and will require people in charge in the U.S. who crave a global community and sacrifice of individual rights because the global government and economy is coming like a freight train.

It's obvious to see Trump was put in this place by God for at least three reasons. First, the cause the evil behind globalism to accelerate their plans. Second, to initially broker the peace deal with the 'many', which he is now doing, which the AC will eventually confirm. Third, to clear the way for the rise of the Sanhedrin and the coming Temple (which was solidified by treaty with 70 nations in September 2019). Now we just need leaders evil enough to help initiate a global order to wrap this all up. Trump may or may not win the election, but when the time comes, he'll be removed from the scene somehow.

Then that will be it. Game over.

The Democrats did not invent Mike Pence.
