I agree--the best case (IMO) for the survival of the system in some reasonable/decent form is that:
1) trump gets indicted;
2) His cult goes nuts and gets violent;
3) They get put down and a LOT of people (who don't get shot in the process) go to jail--including some actual politicians/media personalities--but the politicians and media people will likely skate.

Yikes. Very bleak. Personally, I am hoping for an unexpected Democratic victory in November to help Republican office holders find a way to distance themselves from the cult before it comes to that, but things don't look good.
They can't distance themselves and remain politically viable. It isn't the politicians driving this, it is the mob and the media that ":informs" them... plus Florida Man.
The GoP is now ruled by its mob, not the other way around.
