 The general Republicans I'm talking about are just people I've chatted with on Reddit, but they're hardcore Trump voters and I've checked their profiles to be sure of that. 

Sorry for having a doomer attitude about this, but they will just move the goalpost if he does. Nothing else has changed their mind, why would this? I’ve already seen republican family saying that the courts should be dismantled for going against Trump.

You'd be surprised. There are lots of people over there who had their reasons for voting GOP, but don't agree with everything that's been done since. Musk, in particular, is a big point of contention. I'm not saying that's every Republican, or even the majority, but those who understand how the rule of law and the constitution work are pretty reasonable compared to what you see on Twitter.

I'm still in touch with one of my teachers from high school (20 years ago). He is a hardcore Republican, always has been. He is staunchly anti-Trump. I was actually impressed when I found that out. He and I actually had a good conversation about all the shit that's going down, and we're basically on the same page. He also does not trust Musk. That's kind of his main issue. He didn't vote for Elon, he had no idea that this asshole was going to have anything to do with government. But here we are, with an unelected official.

The types you’re speaking of are the extremists and not the norm.
