You’re assuming they don’t agree with the hypothetical you suggest. These sort of people back then would have unequivocally supported her arrest and persecution. They defend the status quo and not much else. After all the status quo likely led to their own prosperity. I can only assume these sort people would have attempted to condemn something like the French resistance since it was “against the law” as long as they they benefited from occupation.
