Different messages go to different audiences. You can find plenty of Republicans who think MTG specifically is a nut, but feel perfectly comfortable voting for Ted Cruz or John Thune or Mike Johnson, because they’re the serious adults in the room.
On the flip side, you have a certain demographic of Rush Babies who will believe anything negative about democrats because its all just a game of smearing and you’re happy enough to feel like you put points on the board. “They said JD Vance fucked a couch, we said Joe Biden created a hurricane, so now we’re even.” The reality of the statement matters less than the vibes. And the vibe of “Democrats caused the Hurricane” boils down to “Democrats Hate America”, which Republicans generally understand to be true.
