and an insurrection against the government to boot, another chance at screwing up the country?

The republican party will eventually destroy/split if it stays on this path.

Republicans, especially the Trumpublicans, love to pretend to be the victims. The more Trump is prosecuted in the courts, and by Democrats, and news media verbally, they will cry poor poor Donald and create sympathy support for him.

And also during the next 4 years, the GOP and their trolls from the US and Russia, will feed the conspiracy sites with new and deeper CTs. They will repeat and repeat more than one Big Lie until the majority of R voters, by the next election believe things like.....Criminal investigations and charges against Trump are made up by the Deep State to punish him. .......... The insurrectionists were Antifa provocateurs......... and of course that Trump DID win the last election which was fraught with fraud by Democrats (somehow) flipping votes to Biden.

Trump had more votes than the first election. All it would take is a bit of depression of Democratic voters for whatever reason, apathy, scandal, infighting, add to that even more voting restrictions now being worked on by the GOP in swing states, more RW TV media networks, Newsmax, and OAN so a red hat need never listen to "fake news" again. Sinclair buying up most of the local TV news stations across the country.

The bastards don't have to win over that many more. By any decent standards, Trump should have like 10% support by now. Biden is in the honeymoon period. He's doing good and popular things regardless. But at some point his numbers will go down, and the GOPs will go up. My hope is that Donald is too unhealthy, or in too much legal trouble, or just doesn't want the headache anymore.
