What to you expect if you base a political movement on "Government being the enemy"
This did not start with Trump. It did not even start with Reagan although I think you can trace the current Republican party to the birth of Reaganism and telling Republican supporters that Government is the enemy.
If government is the enemy, or you believe it, and you have a religious intensity, you can understand why these republicans can both attack the US government and think themselves patriots. This is compounded by embedding this anti government belief with a belief that you are actually fighting Satan in the form of democrats. Not all (especially the cynical Republican Senators) believe that, but many of these people actually believe they are fighting Satan. If you believe that Democrats are satanic pedifiles, any action you take would be justified to prevent such satanists from taking power even if you take illegal actions or act against the plain meaning of the constitution.
This is what we are fighting and the people who believe this are beyond direct communication because any argument from us will be satanic lies. What we have to do is fight the knowing enabliers, make the true believers understand that the people telling them lies are liars, frauds and con men. The trick will be to find a way to do this without them believing that an attack on Cruz or any other Republican senator is just another satanic trick.
