11. That's the "populist" style

There is a dress code in the House too, with it being the reason why a certain clown from Ohio made it a point to ignore it, thumbing his nose in protest in order to keep getting re-elected... AND there was even a long-running Xitter account called "Jim Jordan’s Jacket" (now suspended) that constantly commented on the jacket's whereabouts.

IOW, there is a core constituency that this appeals to. It was something that even made it into a gubernatorial race campaign ad here when he and Tom Wolf were running in 2018 (so this is not new - it's solidly modern day "anti-establishment" ) -



I don't agree with this sort of thing but I acknowledge the existence of people who do this.
