  I'd agree with you, but things are happening in front of us.
  Some of that chaos is playing out with MTG and  Boebert aiming their hate artillery at each other with the same vitriol that used to be used for communists, Muslims, and Democrats.  
  This time they have to really unite to cause chaos.  They can't get a house leader elected because the extremists or moderate would hold too much sway.  That is far more fractured than when Boehner was put out to pasture for not being able to muster an antiabortion bill.

  It would be sweet if they created a policy platform again instead of 100% culture war. >
  
  Creating a policy platform would be a good thing, even for them.
  Hence, they will not be doing that >
  
  Their policy platform is "We need to see Hunter Biden's dick pics" >
  
  Of course they are. Republicans have no platform other then their power, their ego, their pocketbook, and revenge/.oppression of others*. It's who they and their base are so I expect nothing less.
  Others*: Women, gays, minorities, immigrants, non-Republicans, non-Christians, middle-class, and poor. >
  
  
  non-Christians  
  
  Also the wrong type of Christians, apparently. >
  
  Watch their first attempt at a bill.  I think they are going to be just like 2014 congress where they shove a bunch of extremists together to get numbers and can't get it together to do anything.  That year the GOP took congress and first thing attempted to pass an anti abortion bill.  It failed immediately and they got nothing done.  
  This year the GOP is fracturing.  Trump is the de facto lead, but has no ability or interest outside of personal grifting.  If they stick their necks out for him for 2 years, they likely won't get rewarded. If they align with any of the dozen other contenders, Trump will target them.
  I would not at all be surprised if sometimes we get divisions so deep that some will break away and work with the Democrats to the point where basic governing can happen. >
  
  I really do wish I shared your optimism, but I have to disagree. GOP constituents want (or think they want) chaos. They want clown show investigations and they want all legislation stonewalled. Even the most milquetoast, common-sense piece of legislation that’s passed under the Biden admin is a failure for them because it’s a win for the other team. And make no mistake - in two years, the entire GOP will fall in line behind who they need to simply to follow that R. I really hope I’m wrong.
