I've made this same argument so many times in the past decade I stopped counting. The raw vitriol and anger I had spewed at me for saying that Trump's voters knew exactly what they were voting for was (occasionally) truly mind boggling.

My favorite (sarcasm obvs) accusation being that I was being just as bad as them because I was jumping to conclusions to call them evil just to make myself feel better.

With these lying excuse-makers I believe they are trying to set themselves up for plausible deniability in the future as well. That is another reason it is essential to call them out in a way that will be recorded, and remembered. They know that other people did this, and grabbed the same exemption ticket on their way out.
