There is a philosophical position that basically alludes that, if your goal is good, then any means are justifiable. That includes lying, cheating and even sacrificing lives. The problem is that the “goal” is somewhere out in the future and left up to Trump’s acolytes to define. It can be Christian domination (predicted in their Bible), Apocalypse (also Biblical), Rapture (ditto), White Supremacy (Mein Kampf), or Dictatorship (supposedly beneficent, at least for the Chosen). With these various goals, setting aside criminality, felony, and even disgust is amazingly easy. “Just let Trump be Trump”. The trick is getting them to state (and confront) their ulterior motives. Good luck with that.
