    I agree, but I still don’t feel confident enough to say that all will be well.

    Like with any dictatorship, infighting will occur for succession and the person with the least self restraint will rise to the top. We might have some schadenfreude moments watching some morons fall from grace, but the apex moron will end up in charge.

      The real problem will be the Democratic response. The probable response is that the Dem leadership will want to be polite, and kindly guide the MAGAs, who are feral, rabid, and sociopathic, so they will only lash out viciously.

      Instead, they should stay out of it, let MAGA attack itself, and melt down, only encouraging and facilitating their downfall as much as possible.

      At the same time, the Dems need to be fully exploiting the MAGA chaos, and pass as much citizen-oriented, Sociopathic Oligarch-controlling legislation as possible.

      We need strong, courageous, strategic leadership in Congress to accomplish it, and right now there is nobody to replace the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries.
