How soon after Trump is defeated will Republicans start denying they ever supported him?

How long before they are scrambling for the exits and trying to reposition themselves as lifelong never-Trumpers?
I expect it will only be a matter of days.

They'll all start talking about their private misgivings, and to isolated farts of complaint they made, all the while trying to pretend they weren't all marching along in tight formation.

Found it!

Planck time: 10?20 ys: One Planck time tP = {displaystyle {sqrt {hbar G/c^{5}}}}sqrt{hbar G/c^5} ? 5.39×10?44 s[1] is the briefest physically meaningful span of time. It is the unit of time in the natural units system known as Planck units.F

A femtosecond is the SI unit of time equal to 10e-15 or ​1?1 000 000 000 000 000 of a second; that is, one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth, of a second.

need to repent for a long time and by their deeds not words. They have committed political suicide and have to pay.

because his cult makes up a significant part of their base.

So, they have to pay at least lip service to him. LOL.

McConnell started trying to distance himself from Trump a month or two ago.

By the end of the week, many will bail on him.

His name will become synonymous with useless huckster. He has taken Nixon's place as the most overtly corrupt President in history.

He may wind up dying in Russia or something like that but that's pie in the sky crap. He'll remain a huckster, tweeting out trash for years to come, but as time passes his likes will dwindle, and he will die like GWB*, in obscurity, trying to color by number paint.

starting to say they were "concerned" about Trump all along. Then it will snowball from there.

The spineless Republican Congress people who didn’t have the courage to stand up to this runaway crazy nut case will immediately start saying how they were never on his team and they knew he was an idiot and they tried to stop him yada yada yada. Bunch of worthless trash just like him.

Their incumbents will be eaten alive for supporting Trump by their challengers saying either they didn't do enough to support Trump or they were enablers of Trump.
