I will rephrase your first sentence to give a perspective that is too rarely understood, especially by those in the Acela corridor media and political bubble:

"Right now, many Republicans fear that when Democrats are in power—especially under the Biden regime—they will use the tools of government to target them, even punishing them economically. The fear that Democrats want to eliminate Republicans as a threat isn’t paranoia; it’s based on real actions, rhetoric, and policy shifts."

That helps explain the 2024 election and much of the behavior, like it or not, from the White House and the congressional GOP. Until Democrats understand that bridge building will be very challenging. It's more than just about hyperpolarization.
