    House Democrats support his ouster because ANY Republican Speaker is going to face the same problems with the MAGAts, and maybe the next Speaker will occasionally side with the moderate instead of capitulating with the alt-right every time McCarthy did.

    Also, chaos in the House is better than the right-wing doing all the evil shit they do when they are working as a team.

    Democrats have zero incentive to help them out of this mess.

    If course, if even a HANDFUL of Republicans were willing to reach across the aisle, they could form a coalition with the Democrats, find a moderate Republican speaker and pass all kinds of moderate legislation that must even get through the Senate.
