If the Republicans catch the "Christian nation car," they'll likely be similarly splintered. Some might want to respect our religions even though Christianity would be favored. Others would want to force everyone to convert or else. The former might wind up being just a codification of current society (which absolutely prioritizes Christianity over all others) into law, but the latter would be horrific for anyone not in the favored religious group. I'm not sure where that "dog catches car" would end up, but I don't want to find out.
Definitely, but at some point the people paying for the court cases must realize the futility. The republicans are dumb, but the big money backers are not.

The problem with fascism is that it always needs an enemy, and if allowed to continue long enough, will cannibalize itself in search of one.
