Yeah, watching neo-cons defend or minimize the 1/6 stuff reminds me of Steelers fans trying to wave away the dirtiness of Harrison/Ward/Ben, or if you want to go to the other side it was Bengals fans saying Burfict was only dirty because he played for us, and not a popular team, where he'd be lauded as a hard-nosed HOFer.
So really, this isn't the first time we've seen that a man trusts his affiliation more than his own eyes. Everything just becomes a commodity simplified and consumed by fanatics, don't it? Politics, like sports is centered around teams that are color coded, given mascots and names to represent them, and then people who have no say or no effect on things align themselves with them and decided that this affiliation makes them certain things. Oof.
