IMO:
There is a large chunk of Trump supporters who are Christian, single issue voters.
They are perceiving that, after decades of longing and fighting for a rock-ribbed conservative USSC, they finally achieved their dream and their glory with tonights Barrett confirmation.
And now as they run their victory laps, they will find NO REASON to vote for Trump. They only put up with him so he would pave the way for packing the courts. As far as theyre concerned, they already got from Trump what they wanted. Now theyll have to decide whether they want to spend hours voting in a meaningless election or doing their laundry.
McConnell should have held off on the confirmation until mid-November. Yeah, there would have been downsides for that maneuver, but not something that, in all likelihood, could contribute to the disintegration of the GOP. The Barrett confirmation will widen the Biden lead and decimate the Republican Party.
