I have said it before and I will say it again: they are gunning for the Republican donors, not their voters.
It’s simply how Citizens United is supposed to work. Any political party in America without huge campaign contributions is destined to fail. You literally cannot win elections without huge donations for campaigning. Trump has pissed off enough of the traditional Republican base (national security state, military industrial complex, oil and gas industry) during his four years of tenure as President and the Democrats are openly courting them.
In fact, Trump is so desperate for financial support that he has to platform Elon fucking Musk during his rallies these days. But not even Elon could save Trump from the sinking ship. It wouldn’t take long before the two huge egos come to a clash and the MAGA culture war infested Republican Party implode from the inside.
You are so much more optimistic than I am.
