Well, not just that. They derive a great deal of success from ranting against the 'liberal agenda'. If all the vaguely left leaning voices are obviously silenced, then their own engagement goes down because there's no opposition voice to rant against. As ridiculous they look on a normal day, they look just utterly beyond crazy in a scenario where everyone but them are essentially gagged.
Their entire use to the party only has value until they do Crush opposition voices.
After they consolidate power they will not need any of these guys, they will be a liability, especially ones like Joe that try to think for themselves and disagree with the party line on some issues even while pretending to believe things like the president's lawsuits against the media being in good faith which, ha, he knows better, he's a cynical motherfucker.
That goes for almost everybody on the right however, they need a lot of people to take over, after they do they will not have any use for these same people. They should be careful what they wish for.
