Still mulling here:

Seems to me at least 50 million people would jump at the chance for a 3rd party.
There are many heritage democrats Democrats who will never vote Republican but might and probably would switch to a 3rd party.
Big inroads were made in the Hispanic and black voter blocs who could be persuaded to switch to a 3rd party. They are after MAGA, not party labels. As may of us are.

The Republicans generally proved who they are standing by while
Trump fought alone and for them. When the chips were down they mostly stood by or plotted ways to dissemble and capitulate.

And that goes for Republican legislatures who allowed the election changes that were a golden opportunity for fraud and abuse. And who are STILL not making changes to prevent it in the future.

So no...a 3rd party might be just the ticket. The Republicans rose from the ashes of the Whigs in 1854 and had captured the White House by 1860. Different times, yes but could happen again.

Remember the Tea Party, where’s that today, it gave us Rubio.

Can you name a third party candidate that was elected to office? No you can’t. It’s a ridiculous idea,

[Does so]
