Georgia election dynamics revealed internal divisions within Trump's political base between different MAGA factions. This represents fracturing of Trump coalition support.
Monitor for whether factional disputes lead to actual institutional changes or remain within normal political competition bounds. Distinguish between democratic coalition realignment (normal) and anti-democratic institutional capture (constitutional damage).
Internal factional disputes within a political coalition are normal democratic processes, not constitutional damage. The 'norm_erosion_only' mechanism with single-state scope and moderate population yields minimal A-score (0.5). Election driver scored 2.5 for intra-coalition tension but heavily reduced by 0.4 mechanism modifier (no institutional damage) and 0.6 scope modifier. B-score is high (32.8) due to exceptional media appeal of 'MAGA vs MAGA' framing - highly meme-able, outrage-generating tribal conflict narrative. Layer 2 shows strong mismatch between coverage intensity and actual constitutional impact. Intentionality indicators present: horse-race framing, amplification of intra-party drama, personality-focused coverage over substantive policy. D-score of -32.3 clearly indicates List B classification.
