Our best hope for survival as a republic may be 45's poor health. His cognitive decline is well documented, along with his aversion to exercise and anything resembling healthy food. Fans who come out to his rallies head out early for the exits, indicating he has lost his knack for working a crowd. He can't hang on for long. Once he's too feeble and addled to risk giving him a microphone, I think his movement will fade away for lack of a leader who knows how to tell them what they want to hear.
