Thinking there will be some lasting fissure in the republican party is a pipe dream. The system favors to an insane level the party mechanisms of the Democratic party and the Republican party. Republicans are not going to commit ritual suicide. 95% of their party just voted NOT to impeach the president. The Fred Upton's of the world will not win Michigan's 6th District without support from virtually every MAGAt that votes. The Fred Upton's of the world -- and the rest of the republicans -- need the MAGAts a lot more than the MAGAts need them. The MAGAts ARE the republican party. Hell, they might just as well kick out the 10 who voted to impeach anyway. Most of them are in districts trump won anyway aren't they?

The senate is going to get worse over time too. I’ve got to think Tester and Manchin will eventually get replaced by someone closer to Cruz than Murkowsky

The Plutes will buckle under or leave. They will lose the internal fight. Make no mistake though the fight will happen and if it isn't settled by the midterms it is going to be costly for them in the House. (the Senate they will lose the same seats they likely already would have) After that though whatever the new version of the GOP is will be united under clowns like Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz. The Cheney's and Mitch's are not long unless they sell out their corporate masters. (Mitch is just a Senate example he will likely retire anyways after this term)
I am not saying the GOP will disappear...I am saying there is a real chance of a blood feud unless Mitch steps on some throats and fast. He wants Donald out for a reason and it isnt because it is the right thing to do. He wants Trump to have zero influence going forward because Trump has stronger loyalty these days than Mitch."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Tester has 4 more years...lord knows where we will be by then.

Yup. Voted in 2018 as an amendment to the constitution. Districts were also supposed to be redrawn for the 2020 elections due to gerrymandering, separate from the 2018 vote, but SCOTUS stopped that.
We should have new districts by the end of this year- public hearings now until June- remapping from June until Sept 17 (with specific iterations in there).
I have a lot of hope thing will change a lot in 2022. Knowing how racist the representation north of here is, but seeing so many more Biden-Harris signs makes me hope that more northern seats will be changed.
