I don't think the narrative that the GOP doesn't have to try because its voters are fanatics is incorrect. Just look at some folks in this topic, they were typical GOP voters and voted for Biden. In addition, the progressives attempts at unseating the establishment Democrats has been much less successful and gotten much less traction than the Tea Party was able to shake up the GOP, leading eventually to not just the overthrow of many of the old neocon GOP politicians but culminating in a president, Trump, who defeated all the old guard like Jeb!, etc. Bernie, however, was unable to unseat the establishment Democrats and the Squad is very minor in influence compared to the Tea Party influx. The Greens always underperform the Libertarians, as well. If anything the information shows that Democratic voters are if anything more cult-like and in lock step in support of the establishment of their party than the GOP is. Look at the effect that the establishment coalescing around Biden after South Carolina had on voters. People got the message, and got in line. They wanted to win with team blue as a group, not to overthrow team blue like the GOP did with the Tea Party.
