With help again from

LW authoritarian demand for the strong government they want (government should take care of us!),
LW antagonistic populism (destroy the elites!),
LW anti-establishmentarianism (destroy the establishment!),
LW racists (won't join the RW racists, so attack Democrats from the left)

the fascist-leaning Republican Party may take control again. As we see, the trumpists aren't the only ones who'll do it all over again. They're not afraid.
