The health of the liberal movement comes from the various factions discussing, arguing, and (yes) even at times disagreeing. Consensus comes not from shutting up and agreeing (or lying and fearmongering) but from loudly and respectfully arguing.
As to why the radical right-wingers (they are not conservatives and should not be lauded with that worthy and respectful title) are able to keep together, there are several answers that are part of the same picture: money, fearmongering, lies, Big Lies, more money, hatred, hope, and myopia. The right-wing bubble is nothing if not hysterical. I could only wish they were hysterically funny in there instead of hysterically insane.
