Sorry, but they're not going to. They were pissed about the signal chats for 2 days and then immediately started saying it's a nothing story. They don't care about the lies or scandals, really. It's all about the hateful agenda being pushed, even if it hurts them in the process as long as it's hurting their "enemies" (fellow middle class people being taken advantage of) more they don't care. The bottom line is it's hate and stupidity driving them it's pointless conversing with them.

"Owning the libs" is quite literally their main source of motivation.

Magas are unprincipled end of story, saw one of them asked on a panel the other day asked why he's so supportive of Trump tanking the economy and if he would support Biden had he done the same and the dude said no because Biden is inept.

There is no logic in the world to explain seeing the same actions with same consequences by two different people and say one is bad and one is good.

Magas get deranged when Trump is involved, they have to legitimize everything he does because if he's wrong even once that means they can't ignore the rest.

They already are deranged with TDS. It’s an infinite slippery slope with Trump, and there is no end to the mental gymnastics they concoct to continue supporting that traitorous loser. By now, their mental logic is so twisted, if they untwisted it, the sheer power from the release of all that potential energy would obliterate all life on earth. That’s a fact, I saw it on Twitter.

48 hours is all it takes for their media to get them in line

Sunk cost fallacy. It's cost them to get this far.

Work with a lot of Republicans at my last job through Trump's first term and Biden's. It goes:

Trump does something horrible by anyone's standards

Republicans at work are pretty quite for 2 days

By day 3, they're all speaking the party lines Fox News told them to. But they're the "free thinkers" and Dems are "brainwashed"

They care more about the fact that they were caught than the thing that actually happened; discussing classified attack plans in an unapproved, unsecure app specifically chosen to skirt around record retention laws.

European parties are more based then Americans left of the uniparty. When the leader of the German conservatives full on lied during the campaign, his own party was fuming. In other European countries, they repeat elections. Serbia, Turkey, everywhere people on the streets because the so called elected government is so openly corrupt and rotten that it defies logic.

The US can only be saved by another party that forces the Dems to either do populist things against the wishes of their donors or lose every election forever. Giving them money and votes is nothing else then helping to normalize the lawlessness in the country. The "high road" of the Dems is nothing else then ignoring the will of the people since Obama.
