It makes it clear to a lot of people just how far deranged Trump's supporters have become. It may not change a ton of minds, but slowly but surely it will change some. And they need to be changed - even if they're not voting Dem. They need to be pushed back to reality.

At a minimum, the bat-guano crazy wing of the GOP being unable to get along with the moderately crazy wing has to have election implications, too.

I think a lot of people are part of that mob because they think it's cool. Nope. Not cool. Deranged and deplorable, yes. But not cool.

They rather be cool, than truly responsible.

They rather go with the mob & its mobsters -who they let tickle their baser feelings & thoughts.
