That is an interesting argument, but I am not sure I agree. The problem with this theory is that Trump might not break the Republican party apart. He may actually unify it. There is currently a split between the moderates (also known as RINOs) and the more extreme conservatives, but I am not sure that this would not be healed relatively quickly. Some of the RINOs will actually leave and join the Democratic party, but many will also move to the right. As with the fractured Democratic party, the moderates will find themselves working with the more conservative members of the party because they know they cannot work with the Democrats.

I see the Republican party coming out of this stronger than ever before. The only stumbling block would be if the country breaks apart before this happens. And this is what I think the people controlling the Democratic party want. They are using the more extreme members of the party, like AOC, as the useful idiots who will be discarded when the leaders get what they want.
