In the end it'll be up to moderate Republicans in the Senate to actually show some courage, join their Dem colleagues, and do something about it. However I don't think there are any moderates left, so unfortunately it's likely all for naught.
America right now appears to be on a runaway train heading full-steam ahead towards authoritarianism by 2024, and I just don't have faith in the American people or its institutions to be able to stop it from happening. Scary times down there.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Liz Cheney does run for the Republican bid against Trump. Would she have a reasonable chance of winning the nomination, and if she did, would Trump run as an independent? The Republicans might just go with Trump again to avoid vote splitting.
The next election is going to be really messy.
