15. Perhaps Republicans aren't truly afraid of Trump, but actually love what he is doing.

He is weakening our democratic norms and guardrails to the point where breaking the law is just ignored, along with partisan misbehavior. A third of the people who voted for Trump believe the election was stolen—and they will hate Democrats even more. Republicans never seem to pay a price with their voters for their lies and cheating. The next election could be just as chaotic as this one with constant lawsuits and challenges, and the one after that as Republicans solidify their redistricting plans and retake the House through gerrymandering. Donald Trump has shown them the way to take the presidency, too, by simply contesting everything and calling on all those judges McConnell put on the federal courts to change election results. In a close election, they truly could get away with stealing the election, and Republicans will try it because they have no morals and no love for democracy. They want total control.
