In the right wing alternate reality he's no where near crashing and burning. If he's crazy or desperate enough to try an overtly violent Il Duce coup, and fails spectacularly, that may do it. But say after all the tough talk, he goes quietly, back to Mar-A-Lago, hunkering down and fighting his legal battles. His then remains cult leader of millions and millions, and absolute leader of his party (which evolved from the GOP and still bears its name). Echoing his wishes and personality, the GOP adopts scorched-earth obstructionism, attempting to sabotage the Biden administration in ways that make the Obama years seem bipartisan. Biden gets no cabinet unless McConnell picks it; nothing passes except what the Republicans want, otherwise utter government shutdown. This is assuming bad outcome in GA, but it will also be pretty crappy with a tiny majority in the senate. We've seen a taste of this policy already, with the Congressional Inaugural Committee deadlocked and non-functional.
Basically, with the attempted election overthrow, and the clear sabotage-the-country policy, the Trumpists have made clear they want 'no rules in a knife fight' government. The Dems should respond by kicking them in the balls. Use the constitution and rules to not seat the avowed seditionists in the next congress.
