Will they stay cracked or will they just go back to their knees. That's the real question.
Stay cracked. It may take years to work out, though.
No, cults do not have permanent control over peoples minds. People do leave. When there's big events like this that expose problems in the group, lots of people towards the edges will take off. Those who remain are the really devoted ones. It may take decades or even centuries to truly disappear (there's still a few Shakers out there), but MAGA doesn't have to shrink that much before it's no longer a meaningful political force.
My relatives cannot admit the cracks exist because Mormons support this horseshit and they can’t stray from the church. It’s so goddamn depressing to see otherwise educated adults just parroting idiotic fox sound bites

All he had to do was slow walk a sham investigation he must be seriously dementia riddled if he thinks this is preferable.
WSJ article dropping soon, and Trump just said he won’t appoint a special prosecutor. He will tweet something stupid again soon he can’t help himself.
5 to 1 he looses less than 5% even for this.
Arguably, you may have already lost that bet, or close to it. Depends on how you measure the results. Trump's approval rating this week is 41%, which is 1.6 points down from last week. 5% of 41% is about 2 points.
This is one of those issues where people won't come back when they leave.
