>> Republican politicians who backed him for a second term may now be regretting their stupidity
I'm not sure about that.
Politicians, of any stripe, want to be politicians in power more than anything else in the world. Supporting Trump kept them as politicians for 4 more years, perhaps 8. Had they fought him they would not have been politicians.
That's a success. For now. They'll worry about what's next when it happens.
Unless they'd acted as a group of course, but their idea of cooperation is more Lord of the Flies than any genuine group belief in what is correct.
