Well, their districts voted for a Democrat. Their districts would likely want a Democratic Speaker. Why would they vote for a Republican Speaker that is antagonistic to their positions? Why would they vote for a Republican Speaker that has lied to them, gone back on his word, and is an ineffective leader? How is it the job of Democrats to smooth over the problems in the GOP?

I'd say there is this one problem that they were effectively siding with people like Gaetz against the more reasonable Republicans.
