Had establishment Republicans managed to tamp down on Trump and his MAGA hordes for another 4-5 cycles, and elected a cleaned-up and much more dangerous demagogue, I think this could have been much worse.
In 2016, after Trump won, part of my brain was screaming "this wasn't the timing they planned on!" It seemed to shock the Murdochs and Ailes and Luntzs of the world that the Bannonites had alley-ooped them into power.
