"But also, history is written by the victors, and a lot of people forget that when they say things like “History will not look kindly on you.” We [still] have Confederate statues and things named after Robert E. Lee!"

"Karl Rove, about a decade and a half ago, stated this quite bluntly: “We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.” That’s how they see the world; that’s certainly how Trump has always seen his own world."

My best guess is that these Trump-enablers have two big reasons for their behavior:
1. Drunk on power/influence and the money associated with it.
2. Too overwhelmingly busy to do any thinking about consequences for children and grandchildren.
