They must have been bonked in the heads repeatedly before. Or why would they vote for Trump in the first place?

They're brainwashed, for the most part. For whatever stupid reason, they decided to watch fox news exclusively for the past few decades and they are intentionally shielded from anything that makes a republican look bad.

Why weren't they shocked at the Jan 6 insurrection? Because they've only been shown select footage of a "peaceful protest". They literally aren't seeing what we are, and at this point the brainwashing is so thorough that they'll believe some racist prick on TV over their own family members.
