those in power because, only if they are shorn of their protective friends, can they be removed. I like the idea that she is made to get her comeuppance, not for revenge but so that she becomes an example to others to stop ones evil or there may be hell to pay. Some people are put in this world only to serve as an example of what not to do and she is one of them.

A few of the repugs and their MAGA minions are beginning to get the idea that stupidity is not a good idea because it doesn't lead to good things for oneself. That's all they care for and if you hurt that, you can stop many of them. You can't appeal to their sense of morality, justice mercy or empathy because they have none of these attributes. That will not help the diehard Nazi Bigots but helps cut their power by reducing the number of followers.
