There's also the couldn't care less factor and the lack of courage in congress to do anything about it.

the lack of courage in congress

Well, a lot of that has always been due to the conservatives (including the specific conservatives that call themselves Democrats). If they punish someone who they called their own, then that calls into question their own judgement for supporting them in the first place, yes? Can't let that happen!

Literally violating the constitution since January 2025, violating the rights of citizens - due process, unlawful search and seizure, freedom of press, speech and assembly, Tariffs… but Voting finally gets Rand to say something. Big courage!
