Throw sand in the machine then claim government doesn’t work and needs to be shut down.

They don’t actually have any plans on how to,govern,just how to disrupt.

how 20 people can call the shots in the House.
As true revolutionaries, they know that a majority isn't needed to seize control. They only need to be in a position to wield the mace, and crush their opposition.

...they had 4 years of evidence that anybody can get the job & can't be shed no matter how terrible one is at the job.
A true gravy train.

More practically, they are getting media attention, creating soundbites for Hate Radio, building a fund-raising list of extreme nutjobs, and collecting internet clicks.

There are some intense supporters who are watching this and saying "Hell, Yeah! It's about time somebody did something!"
