I agree with your analysis that solidarity among MAGAts is largely a facade. They're power-mad sociopaths who will backstab each other if they see any personal advantage in it.
I'm less convinced about the odds of that. Those in the senior legislative leadership and in the cabinet aren't thinking that far ahead, they're running to grab what they can before they face justice-- either the formal kind, if it's not too compromised, or the people's kind, which will be far messier but also swifter, assuming Americans ever stir themselves from their apathy and learned helplessness.
Americans respect the rule of law, and they'd much rather deal with this lawfully. MAGA sees the citizens' reluctance to shift to violence as a weakness to exploit, counting on that never happening.
Eventually, their arrogance will go too far, and the walls of civility that has protected them up to that point will crumble, and they will be surprised to find themselves surrounded with a population seething with righteous indignation. Push the people hard enough to abandon their principles, and entire bloodlines will be ended, and fortunes confiscated.
