Look, from the jump I could not understand why *anyone* in their right mind and any ethics at all would support Trump. I was mystified as to why people couldn't see what a malignant and transparent low-rent con artist he was. But it's important to make distinctions between felonies and misdemeanors. Enabling Trump by repeating his lies enthusiastically and abusing the legal system (Giuliani, Eastman and Meadows for example) is much worse than accepting a position as assistant to chief of staff who did not spread outright lies, threaten witnesses or slander truth-tellers like Vindemann. If your outrage meter is pinned to 11 for Cassidy, what's left for the malice-aforethought demagogues like the aforementioned plus Bannon and Carlson?
