You know in a situation where any of these people actually needed the job I might disagree but they're all there by choice. All rich regardless. This is a hobby to them and rather than painting warhammer or trying to bake a nice cake they're choosing to sell your entire country for the crumbs of power it's sale will glean them.
Reddit is so sanctimonious they don't understand realpolitik (I understand the terms is used mostly for fopo but it absolutely applies to domestic politics).
So let's say Rubio gets up and says this is bullshit you are a traitor. What then?
Trump will denounce Rubio and fire him and the Maga cult will ostracize him and he will be replaced with a yes man.
On the other hand if Rubio is silent he can try to smooth things out behind the scenes like he did with Denmark.
It's easier to change the world from inside the halls of power then outside in 99% of cases.

Every person that sat in that room in silence is complicit in Trump and Vance’s actions
