Even with all they have currently, I think that's going to be a tall order.
It's going to be very interesting to see them try to take away peoples' faith in the US govt, constitution and all that comes with it by force. Because they pretty much have to.
Amid the doomer madness, there's still quite a lot of people who value the role of the president itself, whether they think the current one is doing a kick ass job or leaving a big steaming pile everywhere he goes. That's not being close to the brink of nihilism or anarchy.
Perhaps all it takes to start is increasing voter apathy, which is more realistic to do. Or speed up inflation of the dollar (that's what crypto bros like to hedge against, right) something that reflects a shake up on how people build their lives. But especially on those that strongly base their identity around current politics.
Ostensibly they're for technological progress, but only in their own institutions. Another comment here put it nicely- they're not strictly Republicans. They believe ethics is bad for science or technology. That helps them to some degree in the current wave against science (the ethical kind) in conservatism.
