        Plenty of lay Republicans simply don't understand how politics works at all. They think all the Republicans are supposed to work together as a team and that the only real struggle is in which of them has the purest and most erudite vision for the future.

        Right-Wingers get West Wing Brain, too.

      It reads like a de santis staffer trying to convince MAGAs that they should tell trump not to be mean to desantis.

      Nah, probably just a cuckservative who also wants civility. Right wingers, particularly the "intellectual" ones, like to see themselves as these glorious inheritors of Rome and Greece and these respective cultures "western ideas" such as spirited debate, and pedaerasty, and while they give way more leeway to their side in breaching decorum, there was a chunk of them who didn't like the way Trump bulldozed through the other cretins during the primaries.
