If they are still Trumpians, then they are firmly embedded in the cult.

This may be, but is hard to prove and almost beside the point. What matters is how people vote and how they behave towards one another. Clearly the GOP is having a very bad moment and trying to rally Republicans around.... something. But, if all they have to offer is continued insistence that the election was stolen from Trump - in the absence of any evidence of this -- then they don't really have very much apart from their same old anti-tax, antigovernment, anti-immigrant, anti-science, anti-BIPOC, anti-LGBTQ, misogynist, pro-gun message (did I miss a few antis?) which improves no one's life and is anti -historical. I think they are on a very self-destructive trajectory. My only worries are the SCOTUS and the GOP's control of so many state legislatures and what will happen if they resort to Jan. 6th style violence again and have to be put down.... harshly. It is the nature of cults led by charismatic narcissists to end badly. Just a matter of time. The sooner the better.
