The influence of the worst elements of the CPC over the party is a reasonable concern. The increase in that influence if they were to win this election, i.e. would those elements be emboldened given current affairs, is also a reasonable concern. There is a lot of nuance to those issues. The notion that PP is a Trump asset, or a Trump sycophant, or that if he wins the country will be sold out to Trump, is not reasonable, and the people suggesting this seem incapable of nuance.
There is also a reasonable concern that a growing lack of capacity for nuance, or maybe just the rejection of nuance as a thing anyone should care about, is one of the root causes of where we find ourselves.
