Back then facts weren't ignored like they are now!
GQP will blame the Dems and the MAGA bubble will fall into compliance.
"See, we told you it would happen: The Dems purposefully drove our once great country off the cliff because they hate 'Murica and god!"
MAGA will have shirts made...
They don't give a shit about the base. If they did they'd have a different take on abortion and guns...
The base will suffer 'because of the Dems' but their donors won't even notice.

Great, a future of state boarder check points to make sure you're traveling with a bible, not killing fetus', have no banned books, no drag costumes, are not transporting banned LGBTQ+ persons, etc.
Who cares...
