Right Splinters Over Post-Trump Political Mantle

Jonah Goldberg, in his biweekly G-File newsletter, critiques Ross Douthat's recent column that speculated on the right's post-Trump future. Goldberg argues Douthat overstates the transferability of Trump's 'mantle,' contending personalist incoherence will likely splinter the MAGA right into competing factions with divergent policy agendas. He warns such fragmentation will complicate nominations, governance, and conservatism's future coherence.
