The Republican Party dies as soon as that happens. Every Republican knows it. That’s why they will fight to keep it from happening and grift the situation as long as they can.
Fascism does not outlive the guy at its center. It can’t. Anybody who could step up to take control would have been a threat to the old leader’s position. The leader, therefore, has to make sure his people are loyal to him personally, and that tends to select for people who aren’t very competent and are incapable of fermenting the same sort of faux populist up swell.
Thing is, I heard that multiple times during his first term.
I’m not saying you are wrong, maybe you are right. But I’m not so easily convinced after all the shit he consistently gets away with. There were people on their covid death beds who were still anti-mask/vax and pro-Trump.
If people are still stubbornly holding onto their beliefs as they directly face their own mortality more or less because of them, its hard to imagine a bribe being the red line.

The republicans realized it yesterday when he took the plane. That was the nail in the coffin of their party.
That moment when even they admit if the dems did this; reps would go wild.
Presidency isn’t a business that closes once the term is up. It’s a turn in the game. They kept forgetting that until the plane happened.
Keep dreaming.
I’ll believe that when they do something about him
