I agree with that, but in the end the voters in their areas vote based on their beliefs, and a lot of these people want to keep their job, and that is not quite the same as the spouse murder you are talking about. You can certainly make the case that what they are doing is horrid in and by itself, particularly if they do not believe in it, and I would agree with that. However, this is politics, and some of these reps may genuinely believe it like that Q woman that got voted in, so while they are being crazy - they are representing their beliefs, and also of those who voted them in, in a genuine manner. In some ways that is more correct for their jobs than those who are doing it WWE style as as a political act.
Call me naive, but I suspect that things change a lot once Trump is gone, as the need for these charades are effectively gone as well. Basically - tick tock.
