I don't think the majority of their voters actually want a nothing doing Congress. Imagine how they'll look the next time a hurricane, flood, or other natural disaster strikes their home districts.

Will their financial patrons bail their districts out? Will their Dark Money lords arrange an alignment of the planets in their favor?
