Pretty sure, at this point, that the average Republican representative and voter cares jack and squat about the concern trolling people who hate them are doing.
Why should a reasonably-intelligent guy like you support someone who wants to overthrow our democracy because he wants to stay in office regardless of the election?
It is not a matter of whether Republicans are concerned about whether some people hate them. It is about the hate, lies and ignorance that motivated Trump and his followers to organize a violent, deadly attack on the Capitol, and about Republicans who defend lies that threaten the free exercize of democracy.
As Senator Romney, a red-state Republican who voted to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, said, if organizing a violent insurrection on the Capitol is not an impeachable offense, then I don't know what is.
