In a nutshell, a perfect summation Ricky.
Be careful what you wish for, GOP thought that a wink and a nod to Trump's base will consolidate their power (the raised fist by Hawley is glaring proof), except the base has morphed into a cult with an out of control Trump as their leader. Stealing of classified documents and government secrets is the pinnacle of an out of control idiot. Like what did he expect?
Trump and the MAGA cult is like a forest fire, one cannot put it out without getting severely burnt and the only option is to run away like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. But most won't, power is very addictive.
