they're trained to declare loyalty to everything Republican.

In this case, "How important is each of the following to what being a Republican means to you?" was asked several times with various endings before "Believing that Donald Trump won the 2020 election."

Interestingly, while 59% said very (36%) or somewhat (23%) important, 40% said Not too (15%) or not at all (25%) important.

Effectively everyone divided into one of these baked-in groups with big differences at the extremes.
