Some people (not many, but some) are opening their eyes to the fact that Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham are Putin and Trump's bitches. Mitch McConnell literally said that he wouldn't have a fair trial or do his fucking job. Sure, some people are cool with that. They're all fuckups that aren't worth the oxygen they waste. But some people see it, and go "What the fucking hell have I been supporting these last few years?"
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
