   Yeah, there were about 2 days in 2021, right after the Republican Party tried and failed to massacre our leaders and overthrow our government, when some in the GOP briefly regretted dedicating their lives to fascist insurrection.

   However, the party (led by McConnell) quickly closed ranks behind the Capitol putsch. And then, because there were never any negative consequences for the insurrection, the GOP learned the lesson that violent revolution is their only option.

     I doubt it. If that were going to happen, it would have happened already, after Trump lost in 2020.

     "That aside, a #Trump loss inevitably means an internal civil war within the #Republican Party. I believe a “war” is inevitable between the all-powerful Trump forces and those who want to move on from the Trump era and win the White House in 2028 without any Trump family members on the ticket."
