Problem is not Congress. Problem is many moderates who do not vote. And do not even bother to learn / listen to the news. By doing so, therefore all but vote extremists into Congress. Also contributing is gerrymandering. Gerrymandering means more power to wacko extremist liberals and conservatives to the detriment of moderates.

So people blame an institution called Congress rather than ill informed voters who subvert Congress. So let's burn down Congress. It worked so well in 1930s Germany.
