I think you have to be in a really bad place mentally do what they are doing. They're either incapable of seeing the consequences, or they're happy to be martyrs for what they think is a just cause.

Or they think they will be pardoned because why not? Trump already pardoned literal war criminals.

I wonder if there will be consequences for Trump?

25th amendment is in discussion by his cabinet. Consequences are coming down hard.

After the last 4 years the idea that there will be consequences for anything Trump does is laughable. He'll take up painting veterans or some other hobby and rehabilitate his image soon enough.

It's going to be really awkward when he runs again in 2024.

Does feel that way sometimes. Senate not impressed, house is filled bunch of jokers so they aren’t doing anything.
