The floor isn’t where much work is done anymore. Too many cameras. The work is done in committee and behind closed doors. The floor is for speeches and displays.

Since some in that fan base embrace their offensive behavior, including gay slurs, it appeals to SPC. Great connective tissue, dontcha think?
