Unfortunately, that rhetoric will only reinforce their stance that they are a persecuted class.

We may think of it as a self-inflicted situation, but they feel the direct personal insult rather than seeing it as an avoidable situation by just preferring some other republican that isn't as obviously corrupt and sleezey.

It's a cult and they all need to go to jail with him. They can share their own prison.
