Its GAME TIMEYeah it was really the rise of populist pressure from talk radio and cable news that changed the incentive structure for individual congressmen. And some of the earmark reforms of the 90s hurt too, whatever merits those reforms might have otherwise had.
Now add social media and it’s hopeless. Too many people view their congressional seat as something that can serve their career rather than viewing service in the institution an end in itself. It gives them a national platform to preen. You find it on both sides.
