Seems like this sort of reaction could have the opposite effect and strengthen the convictions of the politicians who think tiktok is a problem.

  Depends. They’ll look up the voting record of callers. If their phones are ringing off the hook from people who mostly don’t have a history of voting you might be right. If their phones are ringing non-stop from people with a record of voting consistently, it’s much more likely to change their behavior.

American politicians can be craven or shortsighted don't think any of them are that craven or shortsighted. These callers are getting their cues from a entity ultimately controlled by a foreign adversary. Any politician who cares less about that than if the callers vote in November is the kind of politician would volunteer to be the lackey of foreign occupiers.
