1/7 One of Trump's worst traits is one of the ones I am also sometimes thankful for: his divisiveness.
Allow me to explain.
Trump doesn't just sow division among his enemies, but his allies as well.

2/7 From the very beginning, this tendency to create a cutthroat atmosphere where he does not merely tolerate but ENCOURAGES people to fight has undermined his effectiveness, as countless allies have spent their energies attacking each other. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/04/trump-inner-circle-white-house-court
3/7 This has served to distract from their goals while swiftly hollowing out his support as losers are often ousted.
Steve Bannon, John Bolton, John Kelly, & many more dangerous voices were forced out, as well as more stable presences like General Mattis. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/us/politics/steve-bannon-trump-white-house.html

4/7 We saw this when the Groypers, radical alt-right racists lead by Nick Fuentes who advocate for violent confrontations, attacked Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA, Don Jr., and others they saw as more corporate conservatives. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/11/20948317/alt-right-donald-trump-jr-conservative-tpusa-yaf-racism-antisemitism
5/7 We are seeing it again recently, as right-wing militias grow angry at QAnon for their "magical thinking" belief that Trump has a great plan to save the day on Jan. 20th, which runs counter to militia attempts to foment further insurrection. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/online-far-right-movements-fracture-wake-capitol-riot-n1254459
6/7 It's happening over at Breitbart as well, where MAGA faithful are clashing with colleagues fuming over the disastrous Wednesday Coup and Trump's throwing the insurrectionists under the bus. https://www.thedailybeast.com/breitbart-staffers-clashed-over-blaming-trump-for-capitol-riot-leaked-chats-show
7/7 Trump's instinct to spread infighting has clearly caused immense harm as well & must be excised; the COVID-19 disaster is the most blatant example of this.
But it has also bolstered incompetence, favoring the most vicious & hampering his regime's own corruption & cruelty.
