My understanding is that Republicans have mugs specifically for tears, so they could go cry in those.
They'll need to because without anti-democracy judges they're never winning another national election again.

The law would also obviously purge all Senators and governors associated with the Republican party, so we'd better have some backups planned there, as well.
