The passion for defending Trump against criminal charges seems to be quite…well, absent.
I agree it was a terrible thing for him to say. Getting people to do it, though, is the real problem. People may think “their” President was taken from them. They feel a great deal less personally aggrieved if a former President is in the dock. They may think an election, a fairly opaque public process, was "rigged." They will be far less inclined to arise en masse and march against a public trial taking place almost literally before their eyes. It’s not like they’re rising up to protest the January 6th verdicts.
