Alas, I think that history has some dismal lessons for us on how the die-hard MAGA crowd are going to keep carrying water for their guy, as (among other things) it's been almost 160 years since the end of the Civil War and lost-causers are still out, loud, and proud. The best we can hope for is a thorough public reckoning for Trump via the court system, that will strip away as many of his persuadable low-information followers as possible.
