Lawmakers invoked a new law that’s supposed to target reform DAs. The real targets are Black Democrats.

To the conservative mind, whether or not someone has committed a crime is based not on their actions, but on which group they belong to.

Thus, Trump has done no wrong, because he's in their group, and Willis has, because she's not in their group.

I think the tribalism you describe is part of the explanation. Trump isn't just a member of their tribe, he's the strongman leader of it. They would make him their king because he wants to restore the old white Christian patriarchy. Threats to Trump are threats to that mission. This is what they mean by MAGA.
