I would agree in the past, and that "banality of evil" I think would extend to a good many of Trump supporters. The problem now is the sheer number of people who until Trump may have held opinions I didn't agree with, such as Liz Cheney, John McCain, Mitt Romney, etc., but who had integrity and knew Trump for the liar and grifter he is, could be reasoned, knew that compromise is what makes a country run and integrity. Jan 6 scared them at the time. But now, those people seem to be few and far between and many (most) have caved in to Trump, a man they would have spit on in the past. That's not banality any more. Now, it's "lets see how far we can go before they stop us".
