You forget the gallows and calls to assassinate the Vice President of the US.
That's the part that gets me. Add to the questions that deckeda suggests to ask of any/all Republicans: "So, tell me, were you in favor of hanging Vice-President Pence?"
This sort of question mirrors the disconnectedness $tevie highlights. They'll note that they didn't personally want the V.P. "dead," yet have no comment about others they otherwise agree with, that did want it. Using pretzel logic, it therefore wasn't support.
It's all about the tribe and the belief that others are worse, which gives them all a free pass. Little wonder they value fealty above leadership and accountability.
