There aren't any "normie" republicans anymore. Just look at the "republicans" posting here. They repeatedly demanded Hillary be jailed for mishandling classified documents yet after it turned out that Trump removed more than 100 of the nation's most guarded sources and methods intelligence documents, they cannot write a single critical word.
So what? It's hardly unusual that folks criticize their political opponents for behaviors that they excuse in their own politicians - or that political partisans are hypocrites. That doesn't mean they're not "normie" Republicans. It's always been the case that most partisans will excuse failings in their "own team" that they would excoriate in the opposition.
There's a reason why DJT only pulled slim majorities (51% and 54%) in Iowa and New Hampshire among the Republican party, and 59% in South Carolina. A fair number of Republicans are "normie" - they'd prefer a different standard-bearer in the election than Trump. But they're not going to prefer a Democrat to Trump, so of course they're going to work to get him elected.
