In McCarthy's case, after he was off the stage you'd have had almost as hard a time finding anyone who supported him as you would finding a German-American Bundist on December 8, 1941.
Long had his supporters even after his death, but that faded and no one with a similar cult following took his place, so that does work better. Because MAGA will stick with Trump, but most Republicans will move on. MAGA might look for another Trump, but they won't find one.
There's no there there without him.
