Oh absolutely agree 100%.

But if you do believe that Trumps end goals are laudable, then you are of course going to believe that it's justifiable that he'd break the law to achieve them.

There are, undoubtedly, millions of people in this country who believe that thwarting the peaceful transfer of power is a small price to pay for their authoritarian dipshit leader... and it makes sense that he'd play to that population.
