And that small group of insane people got a whole lot of power out of those votes.
Trump's campaign manager, financial manager, personal lawyer, and National Security Advisor were all prosecuted for felons in association with Trump's 2016 campaign. During the primaries Cruz, Graham, and Rubio all repeatedly called Trump a conman. Yet today the whole Republican party kneels before MAGA. 
It should surprise no one that Jr Republicans learned from Trump's example. >

Many Republicans are coming to the realization that Santos is a habitual liar and he cannot easily be controlled.  They could manipulate Trump.  On the other hand, Santos is a lying wildcard.  He could very easily vote with with Republicans on stuff they would win anyways, but give a thumbs down 👎 McCain style just for the lols. >

Santos is no different than the rest of the party. The republicans are just trying to pretend they're a legitimate party not built on lies. >

He is different: he’s worse at lying. They want him out because even idiots can see through his lies. >

I mean from what I've seen, it looks like he was sent in with the mysterious backed funding to just continue to sow discord in American government. His "ill resign if 142k ask me to" is obviously bs. You can tell he purposely flash the okay hate symbol to get people riled up online on both sides. If they don't force him out, I am 100% sure he is going to be like mtg and Dumbart doing anything and everything to get his name in the news. >

He could be a spy. Seriously. >

Could, but simultaneously if his money is from Russia, their immediate concern is to make the US look as much a laughing stock as they are to the world failing to stomp all over Ukraine. Spy is likely but also secondary for the immediate moment.
I haven't seen any information if he is genuinely a smart guy that 100% knows what he is doing to a t or if he's just a useful pawn. >

He doesn't seem intelligent at all. >

Could you imagine if this were the norm and everyone we elected did this? No one would have faith in the system >


No one would have faith in the system

That's exactly what the MAGA crowd wants. >

Until they lose seats because their people don't actually vote, and then it's suddenly the Democrats' fault again. >

Except depressed voter turnout usually results in Republican candidates winning. This is part of their strategy: when voters only hear about corruption, both sides-ism, the system is broken, etc, they think "What's the point of voting?" And that lets the Rs win.
Vote. It matters. >

Usually, but if they start thinking the elections are all fixed and their votes don't matter, Republicans might stop voting >

Republicans will do whatever their overlords tell them to do. >

They didn't in the last election cycle, by and large. The lock-step autocracy of the Republican Party has been fracturing for several election cycles now. >

I was shocked when they didn’t all fall in line for the Speaker vote. >

To be fair, that was because of a small group of insane people and not because of people suddenly discovering the concept of morals.
