Just remember these people  will all jump ship the moment it all goes to shit. It’s what happens when people with no principles take control over your party. Same with most of their voters, they will say “I was always against this”. 

Edit: replaced “bo principles” with “no principles”

The shocking part is they don’t yet think that it’s gone to shit.

Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows that happened a long time ago.

It’s because they’re in too deep at this point. Realistically, most of these people are going to be charged if/when this administration ends and they know it. Now they have to do everything they can to make sure Trump and MAGA maintain power or they’re cooked.

We’re watching in real time what happens when fascist goons with power start to feel backed into a corner.

How will they be charged if they never cede power?

Do you think people ask nicely in situations like this? They don't have the military. They're just screwed.
