Yes, and I agree authors ( journalists anyway) should be much, much more careful bwith that word.

Having said that: the current Maga leadership is one huge bowl of self serving incompetent idiots that love to point at others to hide their failures.

Since most (if not all) of these people are of the Ben Shapiro “I win arguments by just yelling I uder and longer than you” type, I feel there is a very realistic chance that an actual civil war might happen. If not between left and right, then already between various conservative groups
