Yes, that’s it. The most confusing thing is it became clear during Trump that there is no reasonable justification anymore to be a “republican.”
In the past I sometimes could see the good-faith, but flawed, justification some people had. But now, if you call yourself a republican, you are at least ok with a fascist insurrection, kids in cages, a con man lying to you and you cheering it on with no platform or plan or accountability, with opposition to the core foundations of democracy.
So the rising support for Trump and Republicans after all of that is dumbfounding. In the end, most people seem to have no standards and anything can be normalized. But it’s just amazing how quickly society forgets literally World War 2, and somehow we’re doing this again.
