The unfortunate reality is that as democratic voters move further away from the democratic elite on issues such as Israel, the democratic elite doesn’t realign their positions, they just become more divorced from reality. A recipe for disaster

Yet somehow when MAGA split from the traditional GOP they were quite successful.

The MAGA movement was the love child between the establishment GOP and the Tea Party. The only reason MAGA has done as well as it has is because the mainstream GOP establishment saw the writing on the wall if they continued to exclusively represent the elites with zero populism

So essentially the GOP elite realigned in the same way the Democrats are failing to do?

MAGA has no longevity. It turns out when you break shit, you have to have a plan to put things back together. There’s a reason their movement has been splintering while Trump has only been in office for just over a year.

I think it was also a bit of a hostile takeover combined with primaries and the establishment retiring
