To the same extent as the internecine warfare in the Democratic camp? No. The closest comparison is anti-Trump Republicans and the venom that they spew towards their old party.

I think the reason why is pretty simple if you think about it for a second: the civil war in the Democratic Party is still ongoing and the centrists and the left wing are at each other's throats.
In the GOP on the other hand Trump won. He killed off all his opponents years ago (and it was never a civil war in the Republican Party by the way, it was an invasion). Look at Cheney. Nobody likes her but they don't have any particular venom for her because in a few months she's going to be gone.
Hmm. On the one hand, I'm not super-attached to my position, and I see your point. On the other hand, the Democrats haven't been removing their own members from positions of power, and (as previously mentioned) the hatred for Pence or, say, Brian Shaw among a small subsection of Republicans seems to outstrip anything that the Democrats may do.
It's possible that I'm working from 2021 data and the GOP wave has already swept by. But I'm not ENTIRELY ready to concede the point.
Did you see the Jon Stewart show where he and a guest accused Andrew Sullivan of being a Nazi? (I kid, but not really.) Where's the equivalent takedown of Pence on the right?
