Trump has outright defied everything the evangelicals stood for. They now only stand for Trump. When he’s gone, they won’t be able to revert and what’s left of the GOP can’t sustain itself as Trump is embedded in everything they do now.

This is a baffling bit of logic to me.

If they were able to change so quickly, why do you think they will suddenly leave?

More than that, I think its pretty clear that trump was an unmasking of their true beliefs.

He was an unmasking of the fact that they have never cared about anything more than hurting marginalized people. That has been, and continues to be their collective single voter issue.

The republicans will always be the party for those people, and those people are the most guaranteed voting demographics.

This is of course all reliant on democracy even functioning in 1 year, which I have high doubts about. I'd say the odds are out of its favour.

To beat the voter manipulation/intimidation/gerrymandering etc to the extent needed to actually oust trump is damn near an impossibility, and then if he gets the next 2 years, its completely over.
