All about the base: Trump rules Republican primaries, but what about November?

We ask about the Republican faithful: they do not all approve of the January 6, 2021 bid to storm the Capitol and overturn elections, but are ready to overlook that. Why? And why are they so energised? Do the Donald Trumps of this world answer a demand or dictate the agenda? 

More importantly, is that energy enough to unseat Joe Biden? As we saw in 2016, Trump does not need a majority of the votes, but simply to win in the right states. So what is the populist strategy for 2024?
