To this scenario @DouthatNYT describes: You don't even need some dramatic crack-up for R's to run aground. If the looming Trump threat keeps the 2020 D coalition together and even small percentages of Trump R's stop turning out, that alone is a huge issue.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/12/opinion/trump-republican-party.html …

i see the coup as a strategic setback for the trump wing of the GOP

Wrong: the GOP base is the "Trump wing". Everyone else can be treated as servicemen of donors and establishment media. You're lucky the GOP isn't already crushed as of now.
