We all saw what happened. It was not ANTIFA. It was not Black Lives Matter. It was Trump's Tribe - people who prefer myths to reality, and the feeling of belonging to any group, even the most odious and despicable ones, to membership in the civil commonwealth.
Now, the fallout.
Trump has had the ability to destroy any Republican who opposed him, and regularly threatened to do so. Don't blame them. Lindsey and Mitch were just trying to survive...it is what they do. He fired every single official who got in his way, regardless of the quality of their service, or objectivity if their advice.
It took Trump's followers shitting on the American flag and on their country - in the Capitol in an act of planned sedition encouraged by Trump and his minions - for hours on end for these fellow Republicans to have an opportunity to break with him.
