It tells me that this time around they view this as their one and only chance. With people like Gaetz gone, we may see the Republicans hold together 100% on everything. The thought process could be that if they have any cracks in their caucus it will be disastrous for their party.

They could f*** around with all sorts of chaos when Biden was president and Schumer ran the Senate, but if they do that while Trump is president, it will be an epic fail for them
