But that still leaves the rest of the GOP, who will be on the cusp of their Christian theocratic wet dreams becoming reality.
The thing is, it's not actually the GOP. It's not like, Marsha Blackburn and John Cornyn and Lindsay Graham who are going to be running the show in the White House. It's the alliance of uber-wealthy tech bros (the "Elon" MAGA wing) and the foaming-at-the-mouth-with-religious-fevor nutbars who were shouting about Jesus at the RNC who are going to be dictating that policy.

And they're true believers - either in creating the conditions to further expand their own wealth, or in making the USA as theocratic as they can manage - so it's arguably more concerning to have them calling the plays than Trump, albeit they're at least somewhat more predictable and less likely to think that nuking hurricanes is a good idea.
