the GOP is on track to retain the senate and has a supreme court majority - in theory these are things that would help trump but you're also seeing GOP leadership coming to the conclusion they don't necessarily need trump (or at least trump-in-power) to harness his populism or to completely hamstring an incoming biden administration that is already playing the suck-up "bipartisan" game for them anyway. like, are any of them really ready to balkanize the US over donald trump (or more specifically to stop joe fucking biden? of course not).
and even from trump's perspective - this is a guy who is dumb as fuck and his reputation for taking his ball and going at the slightest sign of adversity is legendary - when the rubber hits the road, what do you think is more attractive to him? risking life and limb and an actual military action for 4 more years? or negotiating some immunity/pardon as a goodwill measure and then fucking off to make tons of money running Trump TV for 10 years or more?
i genuinely thought shit might pop off on election day and it didn't - in fact the opposite happened and despite both sides converging during a tense moment Philadelphia ended up turning into a mini-dance party. it's hard to visualize anything that could be incendiary enough to generate enough popular support (even among chuds) to galvanize a coup. i guess if i'm wrong you can screenshot this and be like "lol u thought" but - nah.

I don’t see gop leadership coming to any such conclusion
They just got a Qanon politician into the house
