More and more often I see the left and the far left fighting against each other. This is a huge win for the right...

I would argue this is a result of the left being miss organized. If you look at opinion polls on many of the tent pole issues that democrats support - they have the majority of the population most of the time.
The left is intrinsically harder to organize, because their supporters are a patchwork quilt of groups that don't have a lot in common, whereas the voters on the right are more a solid bloc.

I agree but I’m not sure what makes the right a more solid bloc. I don’t think it’s because they actually all agree with each other on policy. There is a lot for monied pro-choice urbanites, rural Bible Belt voters, and law and order suburbanites to disagree about.

Clearly, as the midterms proved; the suburbanites abandoned the GOP wholesale. But note that centrist Democrats did far better in prizing this key voting bloc away than more leftis ones

One theory is that the left leaning media is the grand unifier. No one likes to being told they are bad everyday.

left leadership has always struggled to find unity. I’ll argue it’s because of the nature of left voters. They’re independent w/ strong held variable opinions. Right tend to share views such as their take on religion for eg. Easier to target/persuade.

Not really. The left has been ascendant in Canada for example for generations. But it’s fundamentally a center-left country

Interesting. Those on the Right often express the same mirrored thoughts about “cat-herding” their own right of centre voting block. Wouldn’t academia in the US represent a somewhat consistent left of centre unified orbit?

Left needs the help of deep state, more than the Right?

A greater tendency to submit to authority is also one of the defining characteristics of the right, so the left will always be more fractured.
