  You cannot be a member of the party actively working against democracy and attempting to erode the concept of objective reality and be "good".
  
  The voters elected the guy. This is what democracy looks like. What you really should be arguing is that, since the GOP is usually against democracy, "what's so wrong with also being anti-democratic in this instance also?"
context: Ha. No. 
  Republicans will not (and cannot) hold Santos accountable for his blatant lies. To do so would mean they're holding him to some objective truth and Republicans have done everything in their power over the last decade to actively destroy faith in such a thing. 
  Look no further than any number of lies or moral failings discovered every. fucking. day. by Republican politicians including, but not limited to, literal criminal activity that have resulted in zero consequences for the perpetrators. 
  There are no "good" Republicans. You cannot be a member of the party actively working against democracy and attempting to erode the concept of objective reality and be "good". You can only be complicit.
