How are Dems able to stay united, and what can Republicans learn from them?

The party is made up of corporatists and communists, extreme rich and extreme poor, centrists like Manchin and RFK, Jr., and BLM. How do the Dems remain in lockstep even though there is such wide ranging diversity? There is practically NO public dissention between Dems. There is NO breaking ranks. There is NO trash talking other Dems.
It's incredibly effective, allowing the party to focus all effort on keeping the opposition on their heels.
How do they do it?
Can Republicans learn from the Dem model?

The SOBs are fascists under threats of all kinds.
Republicans are free thinking which is more American but most are blackmailed by the deep state.

It’s funny because the old saying has been
“Democrats want to fall in love, Republicans just fall in line.”

They have a common purpose. To destroy the country.

Doesn't seem like it. Are we trying to win back ground from the left? Hold our current ground? Vindicate Trump? Burn it all down?
We're scattered. When we're focused "Build the Wall", deport illegals, stand up for working Americans, we're strong. When we're chasing conspiracy theories and detaching ourselves from reality, we're weak and we can't have a common purpose.

They are evil bastids in alignment

Dems aren’t united. It just appears that way because they run their party with an authoritarian hand. Look at all the people leaving their party or switching the last few years. Many are quitting

Their goal is raw power.
They have no interest in making things better for the people.

Herd mentality is real. Their followers are hook, line, and sinker living in either fear, or, the belief of virtue signaling.
"If we let the Reps take _________, they will trample over all of your rights, just like they did with abortion!"
"I'll be voting for the candidate that believes in treating all people equally"
90% of the people I know that are right leaning, whether it be Republicans, Libertarians, or no affiliation, all can reasonably ponder a situation, and draw a conclusion, or, ask questions or clarification. I know of only a couple of Dems that can do this.

Bc there are no DEMe. They are all radicals. GOPe act like normal conservatives but are in fact Dems

Dems are single issue oriented, and typically very emotionally involved with that issue. So they are willing to look past any fault in a politician , if he is promising to act on their particular issue. They will be ok with watching the economy crash if abortion, or global warming, or gay rights or whatever their trigger issue is, gets some attention
It makes no sense if you try to use logic to understand it, you never will.

I don't know. If you're blaming Republicans in Washington, your blame is misplaced. We get the representation we deserve. If you're wondering why the electorate isn't more demanding, with votes not with words, I have no answer.
We're going to nominate the guy who didn't drain the swamp but says he did.

Bartiromo pressed Trump by saying: "Well, you didn't drain the swamp, like you said you would. You didn't drain the swamp."

His reply: "I did. I fired Comey. I fired a lot of people.
If we're not serious about saving the country, don't expect your representatives to be serious about it either.
Democrats are serious and their politicians know it.

I thought going after kids would be the red line for everyone, but apparently not. I'm not sure how we come back from what the left has done, they've corrupted or control every institution of power. Our justice system is toast so we don't even have that as a safety rail anymore.

Well, mental illness.

I don't think the Dems are unified to the degree that the OP suggests. The far left faction tends to lock horns with the moderates like Joe Manchin.

There are Republicans that think like Democrats.
There are no Democrats that think like Republicans.
That's it in a nutshell.

Republicans are too stupid to be united. Too many factions. Democrats are told what to do and follow commands.
