Exactly, devolution is primarily about avoiding civil war and economic collapse. If Trump is appointed as Speaker of the House, then Biden and Harris are impeached, Trump gets back into The White House without the corporate media being able to gin up riots in every city. In this scenario, their coup narrative wouldn’t work as well, wouldn’t have the kind of energy they need to generate a civil war. Also they went on the record in 2018 with Pelosi that this would be a legit way to take back the White House.
