- they already were assholes
- as was tfg (just a possibly richer and, in appearances, more refined asshole - remember ‘grab em’, not paying his debts, etc)
- he didn’t convince them of anything
- all he did was show them how to be an asshole in public

I’d split the difference: What Trump did was convince them that being total assholes in public carried no real consequences if you’re white and/or affluent. It started with “Karens” yelling and screaming at staff and ended with an attempted coup where the bulk of those arrested will have spent more time waiting in a cell for their turn before a judge than they will likely get when sentence is handed down.
