It can be sustained. We will lose, but we will also hang their actions around their necks and let them drown in upcoming elections. What cannot be sustained is the muzzling of the MAJORITY of Americans who did not vote for this mess. They can gerrymander and strip voting rights, but eventually there will be a day of reckoning for them. It is inevitable. Plus Trump is clearly unstable and corrupt. Every day is a day that someone might find the smoking gun that will force him out of office. The game could completely change tomorrow.
