I don't think anybody is saying that. I'd say there's a large subgroup that are quite extreme though, devout Trump supporters at least, it's the most powerful group in fact. If they weren't, Trump would be long gone and GOP candidates would not mercilessly beg for his endorsement. Many others are diminishing the vast influence of these extremes, possibly including you.
And what is the dangerous part of all that, almost the entire GOP is unwilling to denounce various open coup attempts, like in the end also the Capitol storm was. They call it a legitimate political protest and censore those that don't agree. Things those raving Q-Anon lunatics like, but all the other conservatives that also believe in democracy should detest with a passion. I for one greatly miss this sentiment in conservatives, and that's what I would hold against most.
