My best guess is that these Republicans came to Congress in the first place out of a desperation for respect and admiration from others.
They probably have a voice in their heads saying that they are not an honest, selfless person or they are not smart; not intellectual; or not upper class like many of their peers, etc...so consequently they have devoted their lives to pursuing status and power to counteract what they know has always been true about themselves.
They are self-promoting, phony manipulators who put on whatever act is needed to keep themselves in power, even at the expense of ending the freedom of the entire civilized world.
Liz Cheney apparently is one of the very few who is actually a good person on the inside and doesn't need external validation. She knows who she is and is proud, which allows her the freedom to do the right thing without regard to public criticism or rejection of any kind. The horrific behavior of others merely reinforces Liz's self-conception of being the honest, brave, and noble person that she is and has always been.
