Unless we're talking about different Republicans, it sounds to me like you're giving too much credit to rank-and-file Trumpians. Sorry, but I don't think those people will think, Oh, we need to stay Republicans so we can still beat the Democrats. I suspect these people will follow Trump over the cliff into a third party--if he actually forms one--which I hope he will do and split the Republican party. However, his enablers might very well convince him not to form a third party.

If you're talking about people like the guy who wore face paint and horns when he and his buddies stormed the capital, you're probably right.
If you're talking about Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz, guys like that liked Trump only for strategic reasons in the first place.
In between are people who voted for Trump mainly because they hated Hillary, people who want a Republican in office so they can stay rich, people who want a Republican in office to get abortion outlawed, etc. I think Republicans in that group will mostly get it and don't care that much about Trump per se. And some Republicans hated Trump the whole time. I think those people constitute the majority of the party, although of course the departure of even a small subset could seriously weaken the party the way Ralph Nader voters weakened Democrats.

Who do you mean by his enablers? He never listened to anyone around him, all the way up to the end when he turned on the long-suffering Mike Pence.
And what do I know, but it seems to me that Trump is growing more irrelevant by the day. If it weren't for Jan. 6 , he'd be much better off. But I think the sight of a noose outside the Capital seemingly intended for the Republican vice president was a turnoff for many sane (relatively speaking) Republicans.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
How is everyone doing?
Happy TGIF and (for me) pay day! ;D
Rough day at work, the monthly Monster Report needed to be dealt with, so I was busy all afternoon with it.
After work I had a bunch of stops to make to pick up orders I had placed, and have the items brought out to my car. I had to stop at Walgreens, then at Target, and finally Shop Rite for groceries.
After all that, the fridge and cabinets are stocked and I am set for the next two weeks.
I gave my bathroom a mini-makeover.
I had a hand towel hanging on the wall for decoration, and my original shower curtain from when I first moved in. It will be 8 years in May.
So, I ordered a new towel to hang on the wall, and a new shower curtain and liner.
I was also given a print as a gift, and I had to order a frame for it.
All the items have finally arrived, and they are up now. I'll be doing a 'before' and 'after' so you can see the difference.
This is the corner of the bathroom that is by the toilet. This towel is hanging as decor. It was 8 years old, and showing its age.

This is the new, fresh towel to replace the old one. The picture is Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) and Sam Loomis (John Gavin) in a scene from "Psycho".
CellarDweller:
This is the original curtain. It doesn't look bad here, but if you could see it up close, you would see that it was definitely time for a replacement.
