(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.

Donald wants to set up his party when the time comes for the
next election.

This would give him a lot of freedom and leverage to act alone to
continue his spite to his supporters who love to hear him.

This way, he has no need to listen to any interference from his other
members in the Republican party in selecting him as the next candidate.

Donald might fail if he runs from the ticket in his new party. The other
thing is he will be locked up by that time for tax frauds.

Also, his health might fail him, too. The stress on him is taking a too.
Donald says the election was rigged, stolen, fraud in 143 times before
the election 2020.

It was said he was planning to use his loud voices to fake up and steal
the election, instead. His supporters are still believing him for the
faked election calls.

To understand Trump and his supporters is to realize that American "democracy"
does not have a future. Basically, citizens voting for their leader is not different
and cannot be differentiated from a reverse auction in which slaves are allowed to
select their master. It is a matter of labeling. Naturally, voters are likely select a
master like themselves. It is "the devil they know."

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.
