I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they’re part of the in-group.
Thinking you’re part of the GOP in group is some real magical thinking. I bet there is a real coalition of wealthy people that stand to benefit from a GOP dictatorship. I bet it is 10000-20000 people max. That leaves the millions of “temporarily disenfranchised GOP oligarchs” that are signing their rights away.
Thinking you’re part of the GOP in group is some real magical thinking.
Especially considering the Washington Times is owned by the Unification Church, which is a Korean religion with a Korean founder who is worshipped as a god.
Republicans are happy to bow and scrape for the Moonies when they need their support, but there’s no chance they’re giving non-white people a seat at the table as soon as they have the ability to kick them out.
It should, but since they have spent decades ingratiating themselves with Republican politicians, which includes giving them huge amounts of cash, so higher-up Republicans tolerate them, and even pretend to venerate them. For now.
And I doubt the base even knows what the Unification Church is, much less that they own the Washington Times. Similarly, the Falun Gong cult owns the Epoch Times, another so-called news outlet that Republicans love. But I’m guessing most of them are completely unaware that it isn’t white people they’re getting their information from.
The Washington Times has an extreme right editorial bias, but it’s interesting they are covering this.
Even with that bias, this particular article is pretty damned factual. The only hint of bias I saw was “Mr. Trump.”
Compare to reporting from The Hill.
I believe that’s because the extreme right views this comparison as a good thing.

I had no idea that the Moonies owned this paper. That should completely deligitimize it to just about everyone.

Yep, the Moonie Times.
