I don't really think it can. I think it's wrong to view the GOP as a party of elected officials. The GOP has elected officials, but Fox news/Rogan/etc, the Heritage Foundation, project 2025, the NRA, palantir, cambridge analyitica, twitter, Zuckerberg, bezos, and many other funded and powerful institutions are behind every individual congressperson. So you're not talking about a decision that is made individually. Republicans for all of their flaws, act with a great amount of solidarity, which is what makes them powerful, they are able to punish anyone that breaks that solidarity, and for many GOP people who are also criminals protected by their position, the punishments could even be quite severe if they forgo the protection of party by dissenting. The only meaningful act of dissent that even comes to mind was John McCain who was dying.
