I think they may try to run against progressives next time, in primaries and leadership elections, but if DSA won this time, they can probably do it again.
Personally, don't think they'll join Republicans. I find it more likely these ghouls start working for the Democrats in another state or the national level.
Maybe we'll see the progressives ground down by electoral competition with the GOP, trying to win over moderates until they're just centrists again.
Yeah I guess it depends on what their connections are. Party loyalists like the employees mentioned in this article may very well just take up work in other states or for primary challengers, but local industry and commerce is tied down geographically and they will plow their resources towards whoever has the best shot at increasing their bottom line. The PACs will pivot at the drop of a hat if anyone threatens to limit their influence.
