Elected politicians for sure. Regular people who may generally align with dems, probably not. Even people who don't like dems also hate Trump more usually.

In the long run I only see more hardline fascist crackdowns like this leading to more destruction of the Democratic Party. More destruction of the Republican Party. And most importantly... destruction of many lives along the way.

There's also the high likelihood of a full blown Hitlerian regime in the wake of people rejecting electoralism. There won't even be the usual left/right fight for who takes power in the collapse. What left is there?

That seems to be the entire point really. So far as there is any discernible "point" to what right wingers do now days. Destroy whatever the US is currently and it by default will fall into full fascism. I don't know if they're planning it like that, but yeah. There's no other explanation really. They're just doing what every right wing regime does to consolidate power, stomp out any sort of real dissent, implement whatever shit they have planned.

It's only slightly made comical by the fact... none of this is required. They're already getting literally everything they want. They could just keep the facade around. Facades help keep such governments stable. They're really speeding down the highway of fascism and it ends with them finding their own tail and eating it.

It does make me question like how high is the average "MAGA" dumbass right winger on their own supply. How fast and how far are they gonna spiral as it becomes more and more clear that no matter how Trump stomps on everything their lives never get better. That the "enemy" was always a hallucination. That Trump is their enemy. Or the spokesman for the enemy at least. They'll probably never openly admit that. It's just gonna drive them all further insane and lead to more eating of their own asses.
