The GOP’s Plan for 2026: Make Americans Hate Each Other | Edwin Eisendrath & Susan Demas LIVE

Donald Trump has a new obsession: Abdul El-Sayed.

After El-Sayed’s Michigan Senate primary victory, Republicans wasted approximately zero seconds before unloading attacks portraying him—and increasingly Muslims in public life—as dangerous, radical and fundamentally un-American.

Subtle!

But Edwin Eisendrath argues there’s a much bigger strategy at work here: make Americans afraid of one another, exploit every fracture in the Democratic coalition, and hope voters are too angry at their neighbors to notice what Trump is actually doing in Washington.

Susan J. Demas and Edwin Eisendrath dig into the fight for Michigan, the GOP’s emerging propaganda operation, Trump’s dismantling of government, the difference between accountability and retribution—and why Democrats may be quietly laying the groundwork for a much bigger election than Republicans expect.
