Might even get bigger crowds again. I think he’ll have his rabid following beyond death at this point. They’ll feel emboldened by his. I’ve studied propaganda and have been watching the rise of American fascism for decades. The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing they are GREATLY outnumbered. The extreme right is consistently about 33% of the population. And he’s already lost much of the party, the Lincoln Project wing and such.
