They were never going to throw it away.
As to Sebby's point that Trump was not a threat because he ultimately did not suceed, I wonder if that means he would not have found Hitler a threat?

I didn’t say that. I said he was never a threat to democracy. He wasn’t, and he isn’t. No one can turn this system into a dictatorship.* You’re watching too much TV. Drama.
He was never going to overturn this election. Never. Cruz and Hawley were just performing, cynically.
The system precludes an attempt to create a dictatorship. The effort can’t even start. Trump never even came close to having a chance at turning us into a dictatorship. And he had no chance of doing it if he won the election.

* Social media might become de facto dictators, but that’s a different conversation.
