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.
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. >

A spy would be more covert. He may be being paid to just disrupt Congress and the government in general. Not sure what the correct term for someone like that is other than professional asshole. >

Eh, what more covert way to hide you're a spy than act like a complete wild card? Everyone will be more worried about what you're next dumb move is to pay attention to any of your boring stuff....Don't actually think he is, but one can never know for sure lol. >

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.
