The rioters that former President Donald Trump had urged toward Congress to threaten the electoral vote counting had left GOP stalwarts shaken. It was a window for finally rejecting Trump and the lies he'd been peddling about widespread fraud in the 2020 election against Joe Biden.   But that window quickly closed as Republicans shifted into a defensive stance. Three years later, Trump is the front-runner to claim the GOP nomination for the third election in a row. And a new poll from The Washington Post and University of Maryland shows that Republican voters are more sympathetic than ever toward the Jan. 6 mob and the man who pushed them into action. And while it's tempting to place the blame for that solely on Trump's shoulders and the MAGA faithful, the supposed "moderate" wing of the Republican Party shares complicity in these results.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article.
