I think there’s a difference between people who voted republican (conservatives) who legitimately believed a lie or just saw what they wanted to see(single issue voters) and MAGA who knew it was a lie and deeply corrupt.

I honestly don't think we should differentiate. Republican leadership in the house and senate have done nothing to stand against Trump and MAGA, and have completely facilitated this mess. Differentiating between "MAGA" and "Republicans" just gives them an out later. MAGA is Republican, and Republicans are MAGA, at least at the policy level.

The Republican party needs a dramatic shift away from utterly insane and corrupt politics and behavior, and that's only going to happen with a heavy amount of pressure from their base and elsewhere. They don't deserve leniency in this.
