Unsurprising you're caught up in the right/left dichotomy as are the people who've commented here. Anyway, doesn't matter as the rest of the world doesn't see the US in the same frame you tend to see it. Actually, those 4 are liked by people outside of the US for very good reason which I doubt you'd ever be able to figure out.

"There is no explanation for Candace Owens, who went from Democrat to conservative to conspiracy theorist" I honestly think that Candace is insane. No idea what it is - some sort of psychosis or schizophrenia or something else. But she is not well.

People presume that, given the difficulty in herding cats, the problem is with the cats. I would say the problem is with people who feel compelled to herd cats.

And that brings us to the progressive movement. This ideology is one of totalitarianism, pure and simple. Their idea of diversity is in having the same, precise beliefs packaged in a diversity of skin colors and genders. I used to wonder why anyone had any tolerance at all for the Castros, Maduro, Khamenei, etc. But then I saw the connection. They are all totalitarians, as are progressives.

To attain the freedom that is the very premise of the USA, we do not need stronger coalitions, we need weaker ones.

Good summation of our ideological situation. Probably won’t be resolved until after Trump has moved on
