Mary Trump, the psychologist niece, has regularly warned us of his all consuming need for vengeance. She knows him well. Given a second opportunity, he will come after every single person he perceives as a threat - including Biden. What I do not "get" is the willingness of McConnell and others to roll over and play dead. TFG is ONE man - they are many. They obviously do not have a bigger picture; it's just about power and control. They are willing to lose, not only their party, but the entire country. They are basically letting the schoolyard bully terrorize every kid on the playground...much like a an armed terrorist causing a school lockdown. ONE kid. ONE bully. ONE crazed, sick, drugged, angry fool.
A longer game would be to gang up on him, LOSE an election, lose four years. Rebuild their party without him. Get back into the game in four years on a somewhat level playing field again. But no. They cannot take even that chance.
McConnell cares about one thing - maintaining his power and everything that comes with that power. He does not care what happens to the country and will soon be dead. It's pathological evil. If we do not change the system so that it prevents mentally ill fantasists from achieving political offices everyone will lose.
Could it be that McConnell is deeply compromised and the only way of avoiding having to face judgement is to maintain power. I believe he may be "Riding the Tiger" as are more and more Republicans.

He most certainly is deeply compromised.
All Republicans should read your post.
