Greg another good thing as demonstrated by BB, who intentionally had another thread closed, is that arch right folks recognize that Trump has broken laws, ignored the constitution and fell for a code of civility so defiled that Taliban like statements are being made with impunity.

You too probably understand the issue of "but its not fair".
As a perception, many people will believe Trump's greatest hit lies and ignore the NYT 'fake news'.

Harken back to the end of the Civil War. Lincoln sacrificed at the end lessened the feelings of payback and unfairness in defeat. How much less is debatable. This issue would reemerge upon the impeachment of DT. Some would feel the Dems must pay, what 'they' did is unfair.
A sacrificial lamb strategy, while primitive, may be required for primitive people.

To me having a Pres. Pence is sacrifice enough.
