Just gonna throw in this argument by a fancy schmancy (as Enten might say) writer for The Atlantic on why it's culturally smart to attack it:

Framed as a matter of "the way people talk" it is easy to point out how objecting to something is not going to get much traction. But the culture war underway is not defined by any of the combatants. People disagree about what is happening and why. The conditions of the conflict won't suddenly change by including or excluding various rhetoric.

Trump out-Nixons Nixon
(" if the President says it's legal...")

I actually do like the idea of Trump fans deciding to get vaccinated for the honor of their stable genius dear leader. Maybe they should give them a sticker that says "I just got Trump's vaccine" if that will make them happy? Like they give children lollipops...

That was the bonus. The Supreme Court not having the "courage to overturn an election" out-Nixoned Nixon. Not that 2000 didn't largely set the precedent for exceptional overreach of power for partisan purposes. Frankly we'll be lucky if the current court halfway behaves itself. (and if Biden's allowed to nominate his share of justices)
