But these threats always exist, they're always on the table, and they're what the GOP uses in order to maintain a status quo where they don't have to do anything other than serve their special interests at the expense of the people who elected them.

For the supposed sake of self-preservation, you have to indefinitely re-elect people who won't even do their actual job because they're actually beholden to shadowy faceless collectives.
