    But two years to go will not be the same for Trump and them as events can change US empire into deep collapsed state of non returnable end of united states.

    (CNN)The greatest trick Donald Trump ever pulled was keeping the Republican Party loyal to him even after he cost the GOP control of the White House, Senate and House over his four years in office.
    ...
    Trump is the unquestioned party head and frontrunner for the 2024
    nomination.
    All of which makes very little obvious sense. Unless, that is, you do a deep dive into the various strains of belief within the Republican Party -- at
    which point it all starts to make some sense.

    Which is exactly what Pew did -- in its annual political typology survey.

    What the typology poll seeks to do is to suss out the various factions
    within each of the two major political parties -- and dig deep on what they believe and why.

    The data splits the Republican Party into four main buckets: "Faith & Flag Conservatives," "Committed Conservatives," "Populist Right" and "Ambivalent Right."

    [To cut to the chase]

    The simple conclusion from the Pew study is this: Members of the "Faith &
    Flag Conservatives" dovetail very nicely with those in the "Populist
    Right" -- and both groups, which make up roughly half of all Republicans, remain extremely loyal to the former president and believe his Big Lie about the 2020 election.

    And there's this: The factions within the GOP who are more skeptical of
    Trump and his broader populism are both relatively small and too internally fractured to represent any sort of real resistance to the former president.

    Which all means that the Trumpist base within the party remains quite
    strong -- and that there is very little chance of Trump not being the
    party's nominee again in 2024 if he decides to run.
