If Trump wins, it'll likely be the last election we ever have. Dictator on day one and all...
If he doesn't win, he will have drained the party and it's donors of all of their cash.
He already gets the lions share of it and dumps it into a legal black hole, and now Lara plans to divert what little funding was leftover for the local and congressional races to Trump too.
They're literally all in on him, so can they recover in 2 years for the midterms if he cleans them out?
If they have no cash for the midterms and we get a blue wave, what happens to their gerrymandered districts?
This election might be it for them.

Trump is a parasite, he has eaten away the Republican party and destroyed it and himself in the process. Personally, I think this is the greatest thing that could happen for this country and international democracy as a whole. Hopefully the Democrats become the next right wing party (they already are right wing) so we can see the emergence of a proper left wing party (and by left I mean Socialism).

Not if he wins. If he wins, it could very well be the end of democracy not just in the US but also in countries that are unlucky enough to border Russia or China. Would probably embolden the slide towards fascism in India as well.
That's without even mentioning the irreversible damage that would be caused to the climate.
The whole thing reminds me of Cersei skipping her trial at the temple. Trump, and the RNC, are willing to lose all of the downstream races as long as Trump wins because they just plan to kill all the democrats as soon as he takes over the armed forces. It's terrifying.
Because it is. There will be no more campaigns and elections after 2024 if the orange wins. It’s not just him but the entire GOP machinery is waiting in the wings armed and ready to bring on fascism as soon as their guy gets in the office and controls the military.
“Stand down and stand by” that was his command to the GOP militia. They are standing by.
