Here's what you probably don't know. Conspiracy theorists are our founding stock. All of our American political system's infighting can be directly traced back to our founding, when our Founding Fathers zealously painted everything that King George III did as malicious, intentional tyranny, rather than bumbling incompetence/typical political maneuvering. Our nation was founded on this lie. A good lie it was, but a lie nontheless. Americans have a tendency to turn every political event into a fight between good and evil. Because of this, when you have actual issues that need solving, people tune out because they are tired of the ups and downs of political hope. Trump was the first person to say things that broke through the apathetic normie conditioning. Trump gave people hope because he wasn't the same NeoCon toadie that dominated conservative thinking at the time. He talked about the outsourcing of jobs as though it was a bad thing, rather than cheering on corporate profits. The entire Republican establishment hated Trump from the day he announced his candidacy, and they've never stopped hating him. If you don't believe that, explain how Trump wasn't able to get anything done in the first two years of his term, despite having a Republican majority in Congress. The sudden "flip" that you're witnessing is nothing more than a removal of the mask they've been wearing this whole time.
There is no such thing as political truth when it comes out of the mouths of career politicians. It is nearly all fake and gay. It's kayfabe, brother. We're all marks. In the same way Hulk Hogan lets Hulkamania run wild all over Big Bossman on the stage, while in the back Terry Bollea and Ray Trailor have a beer, our politicians do the same thing. Some don't, and they won't be there forever. The system will expel them like a splinter out of a foot.
The riots in Congress, while I'm sure were spurred on by bad actors, contained people who were fed up with being made out to be the universal bad guy. The system showed every American where they factor in on the pecking order when they shot Ashli Babbet in the face, leaving her blood spilled on the floors of a building the Elite squat in, only being there because of the voters of this country. Thanks for the votes, now get the fuck out or I'm busting a cap in your ass.
The American Republic is a convenient fiction played out by grifters. At this point, enjoy the show.
