''“I fervently hope our democracy survives this debacle. I fervently hope the Republican Party does not.”

1. Yes, when you have a party that operates in such bad faith

that they are colluding with foreign aggressors, running disinformation campaigns, sabotaging the mail system and passing laws to systematically disenfranchise voters (among many other things) to stay in power, I'd say that party should no longer be tolerated in a democracy.
