A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

Their base will get offended over anything & everything so long as it’s not one of their own being criticized. They are forever hypocrites, and generally dumber than a box of rocks.
Eh, the base will forget about this in a week if its not right in front of their faces on TV. It’s just not something they actually care about.
Some issues ignite a fire in the base and sustain themselves, like racism and queerphobia, but dress codes ain’t it.
That’s the thing though. It will be in front of their faces on tv on Fox News and their radio shows will bring it up all the time. It’s a propaganda opportunity for them and they’re gonna capitalize on it.
Don’t forget opportunity cost - by focusing on this nothingburger they’re letting other opportunities slip past them.
Just going for the low hanging fruit all the time isn’t a good strategy, is all I’m saying.
