I don’t think it would hurt him at all to sell 2024 merch - whatever his plans. His supporters are marks. He can say anything and they’ll believe it.
I do believe that his supporters and the rest of the GOP faithful will just become a reactionary miasma hell-bent on owning the libs. Whatever makes life worse for the rest of us is a positive to them.

Their politics is now nearly 100% rage, grievance, revenge, and anger. They will be insane with joy if next year the GOP justices destroy Roe by letting states forbid abortion. And that will most likely happen. This action will eventually also wreck some of their own lives - but they are beyond sanity.
Last year when Trump came out against masks - I actually thought that was going to be a bridge too far. I have no idea why I thought that. I’ve been calling Trump’s base a cult since 2017 and it was clear to me sometime after that - that the entire GOP base is Trump cultists even if they are too shy to admit it.
Why did I think they weren’t willing follow Trump into the abyss? I don’t have an answer. Somehow my negativity failed me and some hopeful light shined through.
When it became clear the GOP was going to stay against masks - I knew we were most likely doomed. You can’t have a functioning democracy when 10,000,000s of people are cultists. A cult of just 10 people can be dangerous enough.
I don’t think Biden and the dems will kill the filibuster. And I’m nearly 100% Biden won’t pack the court. I assume 2022 will be a shitshow for the dems. And in 2024 the GOP will win big and it will be the beginning of fascism in the US.
