Republicans aren’t really hostages to Trump. At best, they’re pretend hostages in a fake kidnapping. They have volunteered to be part of a kidnapping drama that is at bottom a fake one. Despite their protestations, they like what Trump and Qanon stands for, lies and all. And they’ve gotten used to hearing and repeating the lies.
When Trump exits the stage, they’ll continue to lie. Among other things they will say they were victims. Don’t believe them.
