You're a hypothetical Repub congressman from a district predominantly favoring TRUMP,(Mod Edit) and you are not running for re-election. You have a choice of endorsing one of two Repub candidates running for your seat. One is a full blown MAGAist. A supporter of all things Don. The other is a moderate who has taken a position Trump has threatened and is threatening the constitutional order.
You want to endorse the non-MAGAist but realize if you do the consequences will likely include death threats to you and your family and or other forms of harassment from Don's mob. Maybe some swatting like what just happened to Judge Engoron and Jack Smith.
Or social media posts attacking you from Generalissimo Trump himself which have become so routine in the error, sorry era, of Trumpery.
If you choose not to endorse either in this hypothetical example, does that say something about the level of intimidation public figures may feel if they speak out against MAGAism? Do you see how this could be a real life situation? That people potentially are changing their behavior in order to avoid being confronted with all that comes your way for not falling in line with Trumpery?

Trump fraud trial judge home was swatting target, police say
The swatting attempt against Judge Arthur Engoron comes after similar attempts were made against the special counsel prosecuting Donald Trump and another judge.

Trump's social media attacks bring warnings of potential legal consequences
"If he was Donald Smith, he would be in jail right now," said Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor.
