Good for them, but you have to wonder: why be in a traitorous party if you're not a traitor yourself.
Maybe in some cases, the party changed since they joined, and it’s a bipolar electoral system that effectively kills splits.
Perhaps they are still traitors, they just got something else they wanted this time?
They dont want to be hammered on killing "the border restriction for foreign aid" bill, so they are approving the foreign aid part to have something to point at in order to deflect.
In ridiculous happenstance, they give Democrats what they wanted to begin with in order to deny Biden an election year win on the border. In order to get Republican votes by drumming up border fear, they voted down a Republican bill that would have "fixed" the border.
The party was captured after they joined or realized what they were getting into. The question is why stay, and the answer is they're addicts to the drug of power.
