The Law Is Not A Magic Spell. It's a set of agreements enforced by violence. All the enforcers are fanatical fascists. And the last sane republican I know of died in February 2012. He hadn't voted for president this century. If those were still a thing; we wouldnt be in this position.
So, still not a magic spell. I'm afraid you dont know how cultists, social conformity, or sunk costs work. They're going to have endorsed the horrible things that happen here. They can't accept culpability for that. You know what they say;
Or something.
The coup failed because hisbpeople were profoundly incompetent and mostly senile. You'll notice the police and military dispatchers we suspiciously slow that day. It was just the poor rubes already on the ground there responding to this shit. The courts largely declined to ounish abuobe involved; all thd s um eho organized it got off clean, and even the worst of the nazis on the ground got milder sentences than any ive seen for juat being near someone who broke a window in 2020. What does any of this have to do with primaries? Why would they hold a primary?
