Trump won't be convicted in the Senate, and that's okay.

38. A Cult of Personality does NOT last forever.

Some or most followers will drop away out of sheer boredom. Some will get disgusted that Trumpy's promises are empty. Some will just tire of the one trick pony. Trumpy's magic charisma is showing signs of being overly ripe. His only rabid audience now is the Congressional GOP and and his dwindling base. He is NOT gaining favorability anywhere. As for the Congressional and the general GOP, some will eventually see the forest AND the trees, and as I mix metaphors, will see the handwriting on the wall.

Trumpy cannot govern in a representative government. He MUST be a dictator. It's the logic of his situation. He cannot negotiate. He cannot allow for dissenting opinions, he cannot come to compromises. He's too demented for all of that. His only option is authoritarian rule. He's strictly zero-sum. He must win everything while everyone else loses. GOPers MUST tag along and hang onto his shortening coattails, or they'll be left to contend with Trumpy's rabid dogs in primaries. Until then, GOPers will lie and support Trumpy's lies just to stay in his good graces. It's a depraved environment, and it's one of the GOP's making.

Trumpy will destroy everything and everyone in his path. It's only logical. He has no choice. He really doesn't. At some point in the near future, millions of us will be thanking the Democratically Controlled House for saving the nation. If they don't, then we simply don't have a Constitutional government. We have a dictatorship. GOPers really don't care at this point. It's power first, the Constitution-- an afterthought.

Oh, BTW, I'm not so certain that Trumpy will NOT be convicted in the Senate. Trumpy is not done spiraling downward. The further he descends into the abyss, the more supporters he'll lose. If he had the sense to elevate his game and become more open to compromise, we'd be looking at an even more dangerous dictator. But he doesn't have the mental capacity for it. Most people in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's or ischemic dementia harden their authoritarian sentiments because their neurological disease doesn't permit anything else. I suspect that all of the GOP resignations are from politicians who understand this and want out before the shit really hits the fan.
