Show the wording of the constitution, show that drumpf violated the constitution, show them taking an oath to defend the constitution then just the stark words - they defended the head of their party violating the constitution, they do not support the basic document that established our country or the idea that all men are equal under the law. They support dictatorship instead of our country's values.
