Really? Whichever party is in charge at the time will be blamed by the vast, vast majority of voters. Honestly, you really sound like you're indulging in some wishful thinking here.
Except the person you quoted didn't say determinizing factor. They simply said "one of the tests in 2022/2024." Which seems like a pretty uncontroversial statement.
If they said "This is the only thing that will determine who you vote for" then I'd agree with you, but that doesn't appear to be what they're saying. I think it will sway some percentage of independents, especially Republicans who voted against Trump will likely stay away from the Republicans again in 2022 until he's no longer part of the picture. But I think it's probably 3 or 4 on the list, at most, for the majority of people. And I think it's basically insignificant to anyone who's even somewhat inclined to voting for Trump.
