Republicans always feel persecuted. They had all three branches locked down the first half of Trump’s term yet couldn’t resist claiming unending victimhood.

Then there are the Trump loyalists who believe that Trump was always being undermined and persecuted by "establishment" Republicans -- i.e., by people who didn't think their first loyalty was to Trump personally.

Then there are Trump loyalists who think he was ordained by God. We are in uncharted territory.
